Default containerd version installed by install-containerd-runtime.ps1 causes container system PATH errors. #619
Closed
Description
Describe the bug
Following the official documentation, the script installs containerd v1.6.6 when using default parameters.
Unfortunately (追記) this version contains a serious bug (追記ここまで) that was fixed only in v1.6.26 (and v1.7.11).
The bug causes the container system PATH to be set as Linux folders (!?), causing havoc to the most basic of applications.
Even powershell image fails (due to not finding pwsh.exe in system PATH):

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- On a Hyper-V VM, with a clean Windows Server 2022 install
- Run the installer script with no additional command line parameters:
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/Windows-Containers/Main/helpful_tools/Install-ContainerdRuntime/install-containerd-runtime.ps1" -o install-containerd-runtime.ps1 .\install-containerd-runtime.ps1
- Start any Windows container image
& 'C:\Program Files\nerdctl\nerdctl.exe' run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022 # or & 'C:\Program Files\nerdctl\nerdctl.exe' run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022
- Check the container system PATH:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.20348.4297] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Windows\system32>echo %PATH% /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
