Bug Description
<Shin-LaC> I had path=%path%
<Shin-LaC> the installer took that entry, removed it, appended c:\program files\bazaar (or whatever) to it, and used that value to overwrite the *system* path variable
<Shin-LaC> as a result, all of the standard path locations (eg system32 etc.) were dropped from the path
Summary: different %PATH% is taken as the basis of the new value than is actually updated with the modified entry.

Okay, so this was tracked down to incorrect earlier configuration, it's confirmed to work properly on a clean system. Marking invalid.
