Because this works manually, but not from the Delphi ShellExecute, I'm 
going to point directly at Delphi as source of the issue.  You'll need 
to find out more about ShellExecute, and how to ensure that the 
environment is passed to child processes.

Is there documentation for ShellExecute?  What does it say?
