Installation problem with search path

[BobFrankston]

When installing on Windows Node removes itself from the environment PATH and puts itself at the end. This causes problems if other versions, especially, Microsoft's UWP.

Node should leave the existing entry in place or update it in place. Otherwise, it takes a while to figure out why the behavior has changed.

@richardlau can i take this?

[BobFrankston]

Note that the problem is that NodeJS removes the existing entry and then places itself LAST. Policy should be same place.

Is this still an issue?

[BobFrankston]

Don't know as I don't install the MS version these days.

Will go ahead and close. Can reopen if it turns out there's still an issue.
