In this build https://ci.appveyor.com/project/adamralph/bau/build/3

I am printing PATH, installing scriptcs using cinst scriptcs and then printing PATH again.

The scriptcs Chocolatey installation script copies the binaries to %APPDATA%\scriptcs and adds an entry to PATH for that folder.

As you can see, the PATH is not updated with the scriptcs folder. It remains unchanged.

   Are you calling it as ps: cinst scriptcs?

   This is the entire build script (install script is empty)

   cver
   PATH
   cinst scriptcs
   PATH
   scriptcs -version
   scriptcs -install
   scriptcs baufile.csx
   

   It's set to CMD, not PS.

   Try running it withappveyor.yml:

   build_script:
     - cver
     - PATH
     - ps: cinst scriptcs
     - PATH
     - scriptcs -version
     - scriptcs -install
     - scriptcs baufile.csx

   Feels dirty but starting my script with this gets it working:

   `set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\scriptcs\`

   This is now a non-issue for me since I now install scriptcs in the install script, which is probably where I always should have been doing it.
