I just installed craft on a Windows 10 system, and got warnings like this:
----------------------------------------------------------
Execute: J:\Programs\Python39\python.exe J:\CraftRoot\craft-master\bin\craft.py craft
Found "sh" in your PATH: "J:\Programs\Git\usr\bin"
This application is known to cause problems with your configuration of Craft.
Please remove it from PATH or manually set a value for PATH in your CraftSettings.ini
------------------------------------------------------------

Since craft knows the path is a problem, why doesn't it just filter it out, or at \
least write the configuration  Info to do so?  In particular, at the bottom of \
craftenv.ps1 looks as if it completely clears the environment, replacing it with the \
output of CraftSetupHelper.py.  The latter is the, or at least a, source of messages \
such as those above, from checkForEvilApplication().

One problem with writing a PATH into CraftSettings.ini is that it requires a fixed \
string. I don't think one can put code there that will strip out a particular entry \
from the current environment.  So if the environment changed after setup (e.g., from  \
a new release of Visual Studio) the craft environment would get out of sync with the \
main environment.

Another warning raises some related issues:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
executing command: J:\Programs\Python39\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade \
--upgrade-strategy only-if-needed --user pip Requirement already satisfied: pip in \
j:\programs\python39\lib\site-packages (21.1.1) Collecting pip

use --no-warn-script-location. Successfully installed pip-21.1.2

---------------------------------------------------------------
First, if it knows something should be on my PATH, why doesn't it just add it?
Second, why does it tell me I have successfully installed pip-21.1.2 on one line and \
warn me I'm using 21.1.1 on the next?
