[[To check your registry setting manually, run regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment. Examine the registry data type of the Path entry. If it
is not REG_EXPAND_SZ, then you need to perform the following steps:
1 Open the Path entry so that it is an editable string.
2 Select the entire string, and press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard.
3 Cancel editing of the Path entry.
4 Open notepad and paste the string, to make sure it copied to the clipboard
correctly.
5 Delete the Path entry.
6 Create a new value called Path and make sure that you select REG_EXPAND_SZ
as the data type.
7 For the contents, press Ctrl+V to paste the contents of the clipboard.
8 Click OK to save the contents of the registry value.
The cause of this problem is probably an installation program that doesn't
correctly read and re-write the registry value with the correct data type.]]
