>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7824
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: windows installer
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.6

> When addition to the User environment is selected during the Windows install (rather than the pre-checked System case), the GROOVY_HOME variable is set.   However, the PATH addition is %GROOVY_HOME%\bin and that does not work with either cmd.exe or PowerShell.  Batch variables are not recognized and processed in the PATH list. 
> The following abbreviated cmd.exe capture demonstrates what happens:
> D:\OneDrive\VSProjects>groovy -v
> 'groovy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
> operable program or batch file.
> D:\OneDrive\VSProjects>set
