Hi,

yes, you are right. I was too naive that setting that directories in 
installer would do its best to make it work. However, even running the 
*.reg file designed to store the directories in the OS path variables is 
not enough as it does not get into effect until the OS restarts (or at 
least until the user logs off/logs in).

After I have restarted the OS it started to show the correct directories.
