Issue not considered before. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, I am not letting some internet script touch my PATH variable.

Really?

> Reduce executable search time

By how much?

> Avoid conflicts between different versions of the same tool

Any time this has happened I've just chosen which one I want and removed the others. Never been a big deal for me?

> Maintain a clean and organized system PATH

Could also theoretically result in broken applications/scripts/startups/logins etc.

Windows systems are mind bogglingly diverse; I'd never suggest automating such a procedure.
