Describe the Bug

When the Program is uninstalled, it removes the whole SYSTEM PATH variable, not only the entry for OLM on Windows11

Healthy System PATH var:

after uninstall and reinstall 😄

Noticed because I wanted to check tunnel status, after uninstalling 0.8 and reinstalling 1.0, with route and ping but got this in return.

Environment

OS Type & Version: Win11 24H2 26100
Olm Version: (if applicable): 0.8 - 1.0

Pangolin Version: N/A
Gerbil Version: N/A
Traefik Version: N/A
Newt Version: N/A

To Reproduce

Uninstall OLM and check Path with powershell or GUI

[System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', 'Machine')

Expected Behavior

Just remove the Entry for OLM from System path.

Could you confirm if this still is an issue with the latest version?

I think this has to do with the PATH code in https://github.com/fosrl/olm/blob/main/olm.iss
