I mostly work on Linux, so I'm not experienced on Windows, but this is 
how my PATH looks like now:

%GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin;C:\Program Files\libsndfile


Thanks for your help.
