The declaration for Exec is:
procedure Exec(Path, CmdLine: string);
So the compiler is treating myutil.exe as a variable name / identifier,
but since it hasn't been declared as one the compiler throws an error.
You probably need something like:
Exec(GetEnv('COMSPEC'), '/C myutil.exe);
GetEnv('COMSPEC') will return the full path to the command interpreter,
and the '/C myutil.exe' will complete the command line you need.
Hope this helps!
