[Windows] finish.exe C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.nimble\bin is not in your PATH environment variable. #12319

Description

@SoftwareApe

When you run finish.exe twice you get (I decided I wanted the start menu entry after the fact)
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.nimble\bin is not in your PATH environment variable.

This was an installation without admin rights. The variable is placed correctly in the user path without requiring (unnecessary) admin permissions.

Example

Run finish.exe twice without admin privileges on Windows 10

Current Output

See above

Expected Output

  1. Recognize the current path correctly.
  2. Recognize it's already on the path.

Possible Solution

Not sure where the installer comes from.

  • Was it working in the previous Nim releases?
    Not sure (first time install)
  • A link to a related issue or discussion.
    Couldn't find one
  • A project reference where (and how) the issue causes problems.
    It's not a huge issue for me. Just a small issue since I didn't want it on my path twice.
