I tested numerous versions of Npcap and never faced such issue: my %PATH%
environment variable stayed as before.
Did you untick the 'Install Npcap in WinPcap API-compatible Mode' option?
When looking quickly at the installer code, it seems to be the only thing
that could touch the %PATH% variable (Yang will confirm). And even when
playing with this option mine did not get damaged so far.
