Research direction

Start by reproducing the OCI CLI installation on Windows 11 with both the default and a custom directory, then trace the installer’s PATH handling. Done means the system PATH contains the selected installation directory with correct Windows separators and no duplicated backslash.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

OCI CLI installer in Windows 11 incorrectly sets system PATH using the double backslash in the directory path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\oci_cli\

If to choose other directory during installation (e.g. C:\Oracle\oci_cli) the result is the same: the same incorrect directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\oci_cli\ in system PATH.
