recommanded -> recommended ?
Is it a too soft word? Does not build fail without this option?

So maybe we should add a note about the alternative ("add it to %Path% manually") if the #13882 has any chance to not cover all the cases.

🤔 I don't like "spoon feeding" devs, so I need to think about this.
P.S. The installer will register the installation so #13882 should cover that. (To avoid that I have a special tool that extracts msi files so I can xcopy the extracted files to where I like, and then I do what's necessary for my system to work.)

I'm fine with #13882 landing rather than this note.
I like spoon feeding devs when it comes to tooling (and not code) - I don't want the fact building is hard or unclear to prevent contributors from joining.
