Comment #10 on issue 1948 by k-ohara5...@oco.net: Windows install clobbered system PATH
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1948
The install documentation says Windows users add LilyPond to their path at their option, so let's remove the dangerous lines from the installer.
Anyone with more than about 1024 - 34 = 990 characters in their PATH string can expect data loss upon installing LilyPond for Windows until we fix the installer.
