What happened?

Hi, I performed a full rerun of the steps this morning to confirm the bug on my machine. The installer does not update the path if a current installation already exists.

Pulsar version

Windows.Pulsar.Setup.1.123.0.exe

Which OS does this happen on?

🪟 Windows

OS details

11 latest

Which CPU architecture are you running this on?

x86_64/AMD64

What steps are needed to reproduce this?

1. Perform a fresh installation without modifying the path (no checkboxes selected).
2. Reinstall without uninstalling first, this time selecting the option to modify the path.

Additional Information:

I can confirm that the path is added correctly during a fresh installation when the respective option is selected.
With further testing, I can also confirm that the path is removed as expected during uninstallation.
The Pulsar UI indicates that rerunning the installer should be sufficient to update the path.

Thanks a ton for contributing and creating this issue.
I'll have to go ahead and look into this, but yeah within the NSIS code there shouldn't be much of a difference in these scenarios, but hopefully some more testing can help us see what's going wrong.
