If the installer is used normally, not silent, the issue does not
appear.

Description:
------------
I have been using the windows installer, with the "/s" option for a
silent install, and have found that it breaks the OS environment
variable.

For example

Instread of path being

path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system32; .....

It becomes

path=%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32;......

It set the path variable to reference another variable, which just does
not seem to work.  Only the windows and windows system entries in path
are effected.
