Currently on Windows, `ds install` calls the following command to add the folder
containing downloaded dev-suite binaries to the PATH:

```
setx PATH <dev-suite location>;%PATH%
```

However this isn't called inside a shell, so variable expansion isn't performed,
and the PATH the user had previously set is lost into oblivion.

A simple fix is to call this instead:

```
cmd /C "setx PATH <dev-suite location>;%PATH%"
```
