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.
