I think you are kind of misunderstanding my intention. I'm actually 
trying the opposite: running python.exe by setting F:\PortableApps
\Python3x as the first element in PATH. No Python interpreter is in 
my PATH. So unsetting PATH is just a way to demonstrate that this 
should never ever work.

I'm going to open a bug report.
