WinXP 64 - environment variable %PATH error

[Joar]

I have recently downloaded the evaluation version of WinXP64 running on
my AMD Athlon 64 "Venice".

I've set the PATH environment variable to:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\AT
I Technologies\ATI Control Panel\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common
Files\GTK\2.0\bi
n; C:\cygwin\bin\; C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit
2003\bin\

(The path is obviously entered in a continous fashion, might be
displayed wrong here.)

I'd like to run executables residing in any one of these directories.

I'm able to run from:

system32, windows, wbem, ati control panel

I'm unable to run from:

gtk\2.0\bin, cygwin\bin, ms visual c++ toolkit 2003\bin

It seems like the system doesn't recognize these paths. Is this a known
problem? The only "pattern" I can see is that every entry after gtk\bin
is useless. Could it be the parentheses in this entry?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Joar, Norway

Found out that all whithespaces between strings must be eliminated.
Works fine now.
