Description:
------------
Running the PHP 5.2.5 MSI Installer on Vista created
a user path setting in my environment of this:

C:\PHP\;䌻尺灡獰獜湶扜湩

Before I had all my path settings as a user-variable,
and there was no system path.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Move the environment path setting as a System variable
(this is probably wrong)

Zap the system path environment variable

Run the PHP 5.2.5 installer

Expected result:
----------------
c:/php/ is inserted at the start of User path

Actual result:
--------------
The system path of
C:\PHP\;䌻尺灡獰獜湶扜湩
is created.
