Dear Forum,

The problem has been fixed. The downloads page 
https://www.gap-system.org/Releases/ now provides
a link to gap-4.9.1-p1.exe installer, which installs
the same version of GAP 4.9.1 but with correctly
all paths set correctly.

Thank you again to everyone who reported this, and
apologies for inconveniences.

Best wishes
Alexander
