Oh! Perhaps you seem to type it from octave prompt.
My explanation is not enough.

Batch file should be executed from normal Windows screen by double clicking the 
icon of it
or type batch file name from windows command window (cmd.exe).


The batch file call octave.vbs.
The octave.vbs is visual basic like windows shell script which 
completes set other octave related environments variables.
 
The parts after calling octave.vbs should be deleted
I show modified batch files.

Rem (But it is not requirement because these are comments)

set PATH=C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0;C:\octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin
start octave.vbs --force-gui
exit

The purpose of this batch file is not 

"Find Octave's install directory through cmd.exe variables."

Purpose is 
"Delete the all other path variables that might conflict the PATH for octave."

My explanation was not enough

In the this *local* batch file environments, path setting for anaconda is 
deleted

(and also other all path which might be no relation for this matter).
This is *local* setting and the setting does not affect global setting of PATH.

This kind of batch file trick sometimes is used on windows in order to avoid 
conflicts 
on the global path setting.
