Description:
Extra ending semi colin (;) left in path env var 

After running the install for 4.1.8 pro, I noticed a error that happen on boot up with running Spybot S&D.  I thought nothing of it at the time. However my backup scripts were failing also.  The path to %SystemRoot%/System32 was trashed.

Then I discoverd that the instalation program added an additional path to the path env var but it had a trailing ';' this might be correct for unix but it caused the path var not to evaluate correctly.

How to repeat:
after install shell to DOS and type SET.  the env var to path is not expanded correctly.

Things in %SystemRoot&\system32 cannot be found

Suggested fix:
Remove the trailing semi-colon ';' fron the path env Var
