This is an old thread now, but I thought I'd update to mention that I've just seen this on Windows 7. The PATH var is updated and can be verified in the env var management window, but a new command prompt does not see the update. Opening the env var management window and clicking OK fixes things. I'm still none the wiser as to the cause.
