Which patchlevel? (Mine is 7.3.353, on openSUSE 12.1.) See :intro

I think that environment variable names are case-sensitive. Try using
%USERPROFILE%, VIM and VIMRUNTIME, and check in a running Vim what
$USERPROFILE, $HOME, $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME (all these in all caps) point
to. I'm not sure about %ProgramFiles% vs. %PROGRAMFILES%.
