Hello to everyone,
I've noticed that env seems to handle the environment variable PATH in a
particular way
-----
> cd /d;
> env -i PATH='C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;' /c/Windows/System32/
WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe
# in the powershell instance
echo $env:PATH
C;D:\Windows;C;D:\Windows\system32;
----
env is a Cygwin program so it will be better to set the PATH POSIX style
----------------------------------
$ env -i PATH="/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32"
/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe
Windows PowerShell

PS D:\cygwin64\home\marco> echo $env:PATH
echo $env:PATH
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32
-------------------------------------
the PATH is correctly transformed from POSIX to Windows for the
invocation of the powershell
Regards
Marco
