if ENV['PATH'] include double quotes, Kernel.system cann't find it.

windows OS, open a cmd window

set PATH="C:\Program Files\7-Zip";%PATH%
7z -h  # can run it

pry
system '7z -h'   # can't find 

and, if command include double quotes, system can't find too.

system '"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" -h'  # ok

system '"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\"7z -h'  # can't find

Hello, wind.
Thank you for your report.

Could you confirm it can be reproducible with 2.1.0?

I don't think this is a bug in Ruby, it is a general issue with Windows. As @nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) mentioned, you shouldn't use quotes in PATH. See https://serverfault.com/questions/349179/path-variable-and-quotation-marks-windows/349216#349216
