You're overlooking ExpandEnvironmentStringsW() [1], ExpandEnvironmentStringsForUserW(), and PathUnExpandEnvStringsW() [2], which provide basic support for `%` based environment variables in strings. Python's standard library supports winreg.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(). It is critical that the system supports this functionality in order to evaluate REG_EXPAND_SZ values in the registry.
