Which version of VC++ you are using?
VS 2003 and above there are a lots of issues with cast between char* and wchar*. If you have a newer version try using getenv_s or wgetenv_s functions.

I am using Visual studio 2002 and the following code runs sucessfully:
char* envVarVal;
envVarVal = getenv("PATH");
AfxMessageBox(envVarVal);


In any case, be advised that getenv() and _putenv() only affect the environment variables for your own process.
They do not add system wide accessable environment variable.

In case you require that, instead of setting environment variables, try storing the path of the file in the registry.
