environment variables may differ on console and in kix...
but I checked it out and yes, win9x box'es do not have systemdrive-variable set in console.
also systemdir is missing, whilst it's foundable trough registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

maybe someone wiser can say if it should be available in script either.

cheers,
