Seems to work for me (Windows Vista). But note (also for what you want  
to achieve below) that Qt Creator
prepends additional paths to the PATH environment variable, e.g. the  
path to the MSVC tool chain if you use a Qt version that uses this  
tool chain by default, or the path to the MinGW tools if you use a Qt  
for MinGW.
