How to read a REG Value into an Environment Variable

I am trying to read a REG Value into an Environment Variable in a BAT file. E.g.,

REG HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventlog /v ImagePath

I can get the entire output string of the REG command into an environment variable like this:

FOR /F 'usebackq delims==' %%a in (`REG QUERY 'HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventlog' /v ImagePath`) DO set ImagePath=%%a


However, this sets the environment variable to the entire line, i.e.,

ImagePath REG_EXPAND_SZ C:Windowssystem32services.exe


I want the Environment Variable to consist only of the path portion, i.e.,

C:Windowssystem32services.exe


Thanks for any tips.
