Right. Boot-start services do not get environment variables. Those
aren't set until session manager runs, which (I believe) doesn't happen
until login.
You might consider creating an HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry entry to hold
the path, then shove the proper value into the registry when the service
is installed. Installation should happen during a session. Don't use
HKEY_CURRENT_USER, because that doesn't exist until after login, either.
