Question #252352 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/252352

Jonas Maurer proposed the following answer:
I think he is trying to enter a path in cmd.exe with sikulix.
The "java langue error" is due to a syntax error which isn't checked at compile time.

Your argument string is formatted incorrectly:

both paste and type accept string arguments who start and end with the " sign.
 The Backslash "\" is an escape character, you have to type "\\" if you want to enter a litteral backslash.

so what you want is more in the lines of:

paste ("set PATH=C:\\nom\\du\\répertoire\\de\\PuTTY\\;%PATH%")

now, as Adrien already pointed out pasting isn't possible in cmd.exe so he tries to use the type function.
I know that type does not support the  following  symbols: " = : \ " among others.
I have yet to find a good way to circumvent that situation.

But on the other hand, you are working with CMD, and all CMD commands can be executed using a BATCH file.
Simply put the set path command into a batch file and execute it. (or instruct sikuli to execute that batch file)

(how to work with batch files is no longer sikuli related, but I bet
this page might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.bat)
