Description:
------------
Running the PHP 5.2.5 MSI Installer on Vista created
a user path setting in my environment of this:

C:\PHP\;䌻尺灡獰獜湶扜湩

Before I had all my path settings as a user-variable,
and there was no system path.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Move the environment path setting as a System variable
(this is probably wrong)

Zap the system path environment variable

Run the PHP 5.2.5 installer

Expected result:
----------------
c:/php/ is inserted at the start of User path

Actual result:
--------------
The system path of C:\PHP\;䌻尺灡獰獜湶扜湩
is created.

Could you run it in verbose logging mode and e-mail the log file to
jmertic@php.net? To run
in verbose logging mode issue the below command from the command prompt
( from the same directory where the install exists ):

msiexec /i php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi /l*v error.log
