Windows Standalone Installer should Set the PATH Environment Variable

Problem to solve

A typical Windows installer installs, configures and sets everything that is necessary for the application in question to work "out of the box".

As a user of the GitLab CI on Windows, I expect the Windows Standalone Installer to do everything so I can use glab without any further setup after executing the installer.

Proposal

Set the binary path of glab, e.g. by default c:\Program Files (x86)\glab, to the Windows PATH environment variable during execution of the Windows Standalone Installer.

Optionally, the installer could provide a choice for setting it by showing a checkbox before installation.

Further details

For example two installers that set the PATH variable:

PhpStorm Windows installer, gives the opton to set it:

Composer's Windows installer, does it always, set after fresh/reset installation:
