vcvarsamd64.bat problems

[EDN Admin]

Looking at vcvarsamd64.bat Ive put so elementary echo statements (write statements) in it to see why WindowsSdkDir isnt set in it.
It appears that function GetWindowsSdkDirHelper isnt doing the "reg query" correctly. Actually I dont think GetWindowsSdkDirHelper is being exercised. Obviously I dont understand all this.
Dont see a way to upload or attach a file so Ill append my vcvarsamd64.bat below. Youll note that Ive changed the registry path HKLM to what it should be for Windows 7 64-bit. Also if I exercise only the section of the coding that does the
req query, I get two printouts (as I should) saying
"reg query "HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftMicrosoft SDKsWindows" /v "CurrentInstallFolder" is not recognized as an internal or external command,"
Thanks for any help you can provide.
