Windows Installer Completely Whacks the PATH

[news.digitalmars.com]

Not a big complaint, since I'm loving D for all the right reasons, but the 
one-click Windows installer replaces the PATH with one including only the 
location of DMD and DMC. Which hosed a lot of applications on my system till 
I thought to look there for the problem.

A once rather long PATH value was replaced by:

C:\D\dmd\windows\bin;C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin;C:\D\dm\bin

Frankly there is no point to setting the dmd2 path after the dmd path 
because they have the same binary names and it will always resolve to the 
first one. It's an either or, and ideally a user option that the installer 
provides.

You definitely should warn the user that the installer will modify the path.

This may end up being a blessing, as it will force me to go app by app on my 
system and figure out what I need to add to make it work again. But not 
exactly what I wanted to spend my day today doing... :)
