For what it's worth, here's the text from the schema description. Pay attention
to the description of the remove action
Specfies whether the environmental variable should be created, set or removed
when the parent component is installed. This attribute's value must be one of
the following:
create
Creates the environment variable if it does not exist, then set it during
installation. This has no effect on the value of the environment variable if it
already exists.
set
Creates the environment variable if it does not exist, and then set it
during installation. If the environment variable exists, set it during the
installation.
remove
Removes the environment variable during an installation. The installer only
removes an environment variable during an installation if the name and value of
the variable match the entries in the Name and Value fields of the Environment
table. If you want to remove an environment variable, regardless of its value,
use the '!' syntax, and leave the Value field empty.

No Rob. Those don't apply.
