Can't run Neo4j Desktop after instalation

[VladislavKutas]

After downloading and installing Neo4j Desktop 1.1.14 I open it the first time and the message below pops up.

When press "Confirm" nothing happens.
Tried to run Neo4j Desktop as well as reinstall it as Admin - the same result.

OS: Windows 10 corporate v. 1607 build 14393.1489

This is the solution given by user Metaur from GitHub (link above).

the issue is that user has corrupted PATH env variable.
First, he needs to check if the wmic.exe is present in C:\windows\system32\wbem directory.
If true - add that path to env variable PATH.
If not - use system-wide search to find that executable. it should be somewhere inside Windows folder.
