vp env doctor: Can't get rid of "note: For best results, bin should be first in PATH"

[andrerfcsantos]

Describe the bug

I'm using Vite+ on Windows and I'm trying to ensure my Vite+ installation is properly setup by fixing the errors and warnings vp env doctor gives me.

I was expecting to be able to get rid of all the warnings and errors, but I can't seem to be able to get rid of "note: For best results, bin should be first in PATH".

Upon seeing this warning, I noticed that the C:\Users\andre\.vite-plus\bin was put at the bottom of my path in the system variables and I was getting this:

Then I moved it to the top. I also added C:\Users\andre\.vite-plus\bin to the user's env vars and put it at the top.
But then I was getting:

This was just a warning, so I ignored it when I installed it. However, today I was running some Vite+ commands and I was getting:

Moving C:\Users\andre\.vite-plus\bin to the bottom of both the user's and system's Path variable seems to have fixed it, but vp env doctor still warns about "note: For best results, bin should be first in PATH".

At this point, I'm not sure if I should ignore the warning, or there is in fact something wrong with my installation.

Reproduction

No runnable reproduction

Steps to reproduce

• Install Vite+ on Windows via the command provided irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex
• Run vp env doctor and see the warning saying a high position for the command with a note "note: For best results, bin should be first in PATH"
• Move the C:\Users\andre\.vite-plus\bin to be first in Path both for the user's and system's variable.
• Restart the computer
• See all vp commands fail with "vite-plus: failed to execute C:\Users\andre.vite-plus\current\bin\vp.exe"
• Move C:\Users\andre\.vite-plus\bin down to be last in both Path variables
• vp commands work again

Indeed, it should be sufficient to determine whether the shims are successful, the location of the path is not critical

@fengmk2 Hi! I would like to work on this issue.
Based on the discussion above, I'll remove the warning regarding the PATH order in the doctor command.
Let me know if I can go ahead and work on this, and please assign it to me if possible. Thanks!
