I can't seem to reproduce the bug you observed. I also had CLISP 2.48
installed ("just for me") before starting, uninstalled it, and then
installed CLISP 2.49 ("for everyone"). At every step my user and system
PATHs were still intact, and CLISP path got added and removed as expected. I
am also using Windows 7 64-bit, so no difference there.

I'm not exactly sure what to do from here if I can't reproduce the bug...

In the meantime I do have a patch for the other issue I found (regarding the
start menu), but I'll start another thread for that.
