Each command interpreter has its own set of variables; you need to set
them in the correct one. For example, starting one copy of "cmd" and
typing "SET var=value" and then closing it and starting another one and
running your "script" won't work because they are different interpreters
(i.e. different instances, or processes, of the same executable, or
program).

If you're executing "SET ..." in one command interpreter and then double
clicking on your script (a .bat file?) then you're effectively starting
another interpreter on that one script, it will exit when it's reached
the end of your script.
