Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

Installing winget install SWIG.SWIG succeeds, but with output:

${\textsf{Found \color{cyan}SWIG \color{}[\color{cyan}SWIG.SWIG\color{}] Version 4.4.0}}$
${\textsf{This application is licensed to you by its owner.}}$
${\textsf{Microsoft is not responsible for, nor does it grant any licenses to, third-party packages.}}$
${\textsf{Successfully verified installer hash}}$
${\textsf{Extracting archive...}}$
${\textsf{Successfully extracted archive}}$
${\textsf{Starting package install...}}$
${\textsf{\color{lightyellow}Path environment variable modified; restart your shell to use the new value.}}$
${\textsf{\color{lightyellow}Command line alias added: "ccache-swig"}}$
${\textsf{\color{lightyellow}Command line alias added: "swig"}}$
${\textsf{Successfully installed}}$

However, the only path added to the environment variable is %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\SWIG.SWIG_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\swigwin-4.4.0\CCache, but swig is one directory less deep (../)

So what does Command line alias added: "swig" mean? ccache-swig works, but swig not.

Steps to reproduce

Try to install SWIG.SWIG
Then try to run the aliases output

Actual behavior

swig alias doesn't work.
PATH user environment variable is set to CCache directory, in which swig.exe isn't.

Expected behavior

Perhaps both the root and CCache directory are added to the path?
