Description
### What You Are Seeing?
I have setup a new Cake project using the bootstrapper script `Invoke-WebRequest http://cakebuild.net/download/bootstrapper/windows -OutFile build.ps1`
When I try to run the build.ps1 script I get a nuget restore error which is due to nuget.exe not being found. Instead msbuild.exe is found in the line 135 of build.ps1
`$existingPaths = $Env:Path -Split ';' | Where-Object { (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($_)) -and (Test-Path $_) }
Write-Verbose "paths $existingPaths"
$NUGET_EXE_IN_PATH = Get-ChildItem -Path $existingPaths -Filter "nuget.exe" | Select -First 1`
### What is Expected?
No matches should be found if nuget.exe does not exist in any of the env:Paths and it should be downloaded
### What version of Cake are you using?
0.17.0
### Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?
64bit
### What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?
Windows 7
### Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?
No
### How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)
Run bootstrapper
`Invoke-WebRequest http://cakebuild.net/download/bootstrapper/windows -OutFile build.ps1`
Run build.ps1
`./build.ps1`
### Output Log
> An error occured while restoring NuGet tools.
> At D:\dev\e360\build.ps1:172 char:9

Research direction
Start with build.ps1 around line 135 and review how the Env:Path entries are searched for nuget.exe. Reproduce the issue by downloading the Windows bootstrapper and running ./build.ps1; done means an absent nuget.exe is not treated as a match and the script proceeds to download it.
