#include <WinAPIShPath.au3>
_WinAPI_PathFindOnPath ( $sFilePath [, $aExtraPaths = "" [, $sPathDelimiter = @LF]] )
| $sFilePath | Filename to search for |
| $aExtraPaths | [optional] Extra paths to check before any others. |
| $sPathDelimiter | [optional] Delimiter used to split $aExtraPaths if it's an non-empty string (StringSplit() with flag $STR_NOCOUNT (2)). |
| Success: | the full path of found file. |
| Failure: | sets the @error flag to non-zero, filename Unchanged. |
$aExtraPaths can contain a list of paths to be checked before any system defaults.
It can be an array or a string. If the former, it shall not have a count in it's first element.
If the latter, it will be split using $sPathDelimiter as the delimiter, that defaults to @LF.
