unless I am doing something wrong.

You know that those settings last only to the end of the current
process? So, if you expect one program to effectively inject environment
variables into Windows as a whole, you're out of luck.
(Changing PATH would have been an especially bad idea for security
reasons.)
If you want to do this, then make sure that your program does the
setenv() stuff, runs whatever else you want to run, and then terminates
after that has finished.
