Summary:                    CMake installer can't modify %PATH% if it's 'loo
long'.
Description: 
CMake windows installer fails to add installation directory to %PATH% if
contents of %PATH% environment variable are above some hardcoded limit.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Fill your user %PATH% environment variable with something long (in my case
466 characters).
2. Run installer.
3. Select "Add CMake to the system PATH for current user" in the installer.
4. Click "Next >"
5. After installing cmake, following window pops up:
   "Warning! PATH too long installer unable to modify PATH!"
