In Windows the path environment variable can refer to other environment variables:

Environment variable referencing other environment variables

However, if I update the path from the command line using SETX, those variables are dereferenced:

setx path %path%

Variable refrerences have been replaced with actual paths

Is there a way to set an environment variable from the command line that allows these references to other variables?

  • @music2myear Thank you for the link but my question is about referencing an environment variable inside another, from the command line, which your link doesn't touch on.
