[issue44934] Windows installer: Append Python to PATH instead of prepending it

Oh I remember this one. The Wix toolset still requires .NET 3.5, which you have to install manually these days. Because it's being launched as a console app, the UI never gets triggered.

I thought we had this in the devguide already... but maybe not (or not prominently enough). Might be worth trying to add some detection for it - hopefully a new version of Wix will move to newer .NET too.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/dotnet-35-windows-10 for install instructions. It should work after that. The CI build succeeded, but it'll need manual testing.
