why is HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Environment Path modified by the sdk setup?

[rgl]

why is the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Environment Path registry key value (of the SYSTEM account) modified by the sdk setup?

before installing the sdk, the registry is:

then after installing the sdk, the registry is changed into:

As you can see it modified the value and its type. Why?

This is causing me problems in this scenario:

1. I'm running the Win32-OpenSSH windows service (which runs as SYSTEM)
2. I login into the jenkins account tru the Win32-OpenSSH service
3. I notice that the PATH is inherited from the SYSTEM account PATH
4. I execute the cake build script (which will be running in the jenkins account)
   4.1. It iterates the PATH environment variable and crashes because it does not have permissions to iterate any of the C:\Users\vagrant\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps or C:\Users\vagrant\.dotnet\tools directories (because they can only be used by the vagrant user -- the user that installed the dotnetcore sdk).
