This is not a good idea:

A) Why fill the global path with your crap, there is a total limit, what if all apps did this? It is possible to add per application path info in the registry under "App Paths"

B) Using normal NSIS strings to manipulate global variables is a very bad idea, if the user has a %path% longer than 1024 you will corrupt their setup!
