Do you read the Bold part? Or really you have no effect?

A environment variable set in this way will only be accessible to programs that AutoIt spawns (Run, RunWait). Once AutoIt closes, the variables will cease to exist.

SETX is the most easy solution.

Hello random8011,

if your problem is what ezzetabi wrote in the bold part (" Once AutoIt closes, the variables will cease to exist.") and you don´t want to use setx, just AutoIt, you can try this small function I wrote a while ago for my loginscripts:

Func setuserenv ($nameandvalue)
   $name=stringmid($nameandvalue,1,StringInStr ( $nameandvalue, "=",1)-1)
   $value=stringmid($nameandvalue,StringInStr ( $nameandvalue, "=",1)+1,256)
   RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment", $name, "REG_EXPAND_SZ", $value)
   EnvUpdate ( )
EndFunc

Usage is like that (example):

setuserenv ("PATH=C:\TEST")

Note the function only sets enviroment for the current user. (Should be fine most of the time + in this case you don´t need adminrights to use the function).

I only tested it on german WinXP and Win2000 systems but I don´t see any reason why it should not work on other language system, too. So you might give it a try if you like.

SetX is a command line utility for modifing Environment values.

It is quite handy if you want avoid messing with the registry.

MS included a installer. it is completly unnecessary. Setx.exe is the important file.
