Troubleshooting installation of helpers

Windows

If the following message appears when running dotnet-.net.cmd from an administrator command prompt

```
WARNING: The data being saved is truncated to 1024 characters. 
                                                            
SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.                            
```

1. Edit the Path system variable manually and add the path that contains the cloned repository to it. E.g. if this repo was cloned at C:\Projects\dotnet-sdk-helpers, then this should be added to Path
2. Relaunch any open command shells. Alternatively, if chocolatey is installed, type refreshenv and press enter.
