[CMake] Warning! PATH too long installer unable to modify PATH!

[David Cole]

On the contrary: as you can see by the number of bugs related to this
one's duplicate [ http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10257 ]
and by the number of people participating in those discussions, it is
quite common for people to encounter this problem.

See all the notes in the bug and its related bugs for more details.

The warning you see is a compromise (but safe, even though it doesn't
give you the PATH you want) position that we've taken up until such
time as we use an NSIS capable of modifying PATH values up to 8192
characters in length. For now, we're stuck where we are, and you'll
have to modify your PATH manually.


HTH,
David
