Summary: ExecWait fails when using redirect

Initial Comment:

When running command that uses redirect - the exec* 
family fails. When issueing the same command from 
dos window - it works fine.

ExecWait    '$INSTDIR\bin\replace.exe "\" "/" < 
$INSTDIR\data\my.ini > $WINDIR\my.ini'

please suggest.

If the %COMSPEC% environment string has been removed 
by the user you should use the default values:

Windows 9x: $SYSDIR\command.com
Windows NT: $SYSDIR\cmd.exe

This is only supported by the command line.

Use something like this:

ExpandEnvStrings $0 %COMSPEC%
Exec `"$0" blabla`
