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.
