    Using the .NET registry calls is necessary here in order to preserve environment variables embedded in PATH values;
    Powershell's registry provider doesn't provide a method of preserving variable references, and we don't want to
    accidentally overwrite them with absolute path values. Where the registry allows us to see "%SystemRoot%" in a PATH
    entry, PowerShell's registry provider only sees "C:\Windows", for example.
