Example usage for extending the PATH on WIndows:

<value name="PATH"
             keypath="Environment"
             root="HKCU"
             string="$OLD_KEY_VALUE;&quot;$INSTALL_PATH\bin&quot;"/>
<value name="PATH"
             keypath="SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment"
             root="HKLM"
             string="$OLD_KEY_VALUE;&quot;$INSTALL_PATH\bin&quot;"/>
