Setting DJANGO_SETTING_MODULE in activate.bat not working WINDOWS

Pulling my hair out for this I want to set my virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper-win on a windows 8 machine to DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="[project-name].settings.testing"

I edit the activate.bat of the testing env and add 

set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="<project-name>.settings.testing"

When I run python manage.py runserver under the virtualenv I get 

Django version 1.8.5 using settings '<project-name>.settings.base'

and get the same things when I run the development virtual env.

The tutorial I am following indicates that I should set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODUlE in a post activate file, and unset it on a predeactivatefile. Do these just not exist in the Windows version of virtuanenvwrapper??

Please let me know if you need any more information
