Hi AppVeyors,

before running cmake I'd like to update it to the latest version, so i ran

before_build:
  - choco upgrade cmake

But then trying to run cmake I get:
    Get-Command : The term 'cmake' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Any ideas?

   Just FYI, this is the output of chocolatey:

   ```
   Upgrading the following packages:
   cmake

   It seems chocolatey removes cmake from existing path and installs it to new one, but does not update path variable. Please add - set path=C:\Program Files\CMake\bin;%path% after - choco upgrade cmake.
