This isn't just academic.  I'm working on some tooling for using MSVC in Wine,
along with other dev tools like Java/Python:
https://github.com/paleozogt/MSVCDocker

The MSVC development environment puts quite a few things onto the PATH, which
runs right up to the limit.  Once I add other tools to it, it triggers this
bug.  I've had to put in a deliberate workaround for the problem here:
   https://github.com/paleozogt/MSVCDocker/blob/master/dockertools/vcwine#L15
otherwise it will fall down when the WINEPATH is too long and is ignored.  The
workaround is to just truncate the WINEPATH, but that of course breaks anything
unfortunate enough to be past the limit.

btw, you mentioned setx, I don't see setx in Wine:

Is setx supposed to be there?
