Your path is wrong.
When typing path at a command prompt the %systemroot% is converted to whatever it is (usually c:\windows).
I suspect that the registry key holding the path is of Reg_SZ type rather Reg_Expand_SZ type.
I'm also unsure if a trailing ; on the path matters or not. You can experiment and let us know.
Check at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
A Reg_Expand tell windows or whatever program is using the value to expand environmental strings.
