Hello,

I have a test environment set up as 64-bit win7 enterprise, and when I install kfw-3.2.2.msi, I 
see "C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT\Kerberos\bin" appended to the system path, with no change 
to the user-specific path. Are you using the MSI installer or the exe installer?

That said, the source code for the exe ("NSIS") installer appears to be calling the correct "SET 
PATH=%PATH;[...]" form, so I do not understand where the behavior you see could be 
originating.
