Did you add that : specifically, or did the GUI do that?

On Windows, you need to use ";" between the various different search
paths.

Use the ";"

Here is fine whilst the Windows port is topical. To avoid loosing a
particular report though, it is best to log them in the tracker:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?group_id=161080&atid=818426

In this case, its actually a PCB issue:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?group_id=73743&atid=538811

But I suspect the real issue is that you're using ":" rather than ";" as
a separator. If the GUI led you to use ":", file that as a bug. If not,
we're looking at report which goes along the lines..

"UI doesn't specify what paths separators should be used in .... dialog"
