Registry Value type REG_EXPAND_SZ

When setting a registry variable that is type REG_EXPAND_SZ, setup factory changes it to REG_SZ in the registry.

This means that PATH for example which has values like %SystemRoot%\system32 and
%SystemRoot% which get expanded by winnt, will not get expanded if the registry type for PATH is REG_SZ instead of REG_EXPAND_SZ.

Does anyone know a way around this?
