Check $env:PATH before installation

Description

Some users are unable to realize that they are running a broken OS.

Check $env:PATH, if not as expected: aborts the installation and show related information.

%SystemRoot%\system32 for cmd.exe, msiexec.exe, robocopy.exe, etc.

It works for me : win11_23h2, Run this in admin mode in powershell:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";C:\Windows\System32", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
