#9 Windows Installer can corrupt system PATH
The Windows installer should add the location of the BitMeter binaries onto the system PATH environment variable. If the PATH is extremely long the installer seems to replace its contents rather than add to them. This has been reported by one user who had a PATH length exceeding 1300 characters before the installer was executed. May be related to the following known Windows bug: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906469
The installer should check the length of the system PATH before attempting to update it, skipping the update if it would cause the length of the PATH to exceed 1024 characters.
fixed in v0.7.3
