We've been provisioning build machines with 7-zip using Choco and that's worked fine for a while, however we'd like to migrate to winget as it's natively available on recent versions of windows.

There exists a 7zip.7zip package in github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs (winget search --id 7zip.7zip --versions -e), and this works fine.

However, the 7-zip installer doesn't add the installation directory to the path, and thus nor does winget, where choco does...

Please could you to add something to the 7-zip installer to add the 7-zip installation directory (even optionally) to the PATH environment?
