The only things that addpm.exe adds to App Paths are:
- an entry for emacs.exe, with a suitable Path (so it can be run from almost anywhere)
- The path for the Gtk DLLs (which it adds to the Path vaule), if installed. This functionality was removed from the Emacs trunk a few days ago.

If you're running the 32-bit addpm in a 32-bit Windows, it does just that, and if you run the 32-bit addpm in a 64-bit Windows, it adds it to HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\GNU\Emacs.
