I got so used to MadAppLauncher, that I never started Emacs any > other way. It never came to me that Emacs would inherit PATH from it. Every program inherits the PATH from the application it is launched from. When you launch Emacs or any other program from a desktop shortcut, the Windows Explorer shell injects your user's environment variables into the environment it passes to Emacs. But most other applications never do anything like that when they run sub-programs, and the default is to inherit the environment of the parent.
