Yes, it should be in the path.

1.Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2.On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
3.Under System Variables double-click the PATH environment variable.
4.Type (append to the existing data):
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM

Note: If other system variables appear, do not remove them.

5.Click OK, and then click OK.

Thank you for the link, but as I stated below, the path is already an
expandable variable. If you have any other ideas, please let me know.
Thank
you for your time.
