Inno Setup launching bat file

I'm using Inno Setup to run pnputil.exe utility. Here is my code:

Exec(ExpandConstant('{app}') + '\driver_install.bat','"'+'pnputil'+'"','',SW_SHOW,ewWaitUntilTerminated,ResultCode);

The driver_install.bat contains the following:

echo off
echo "PLEASE WAIT WHILE DRIVERS WILL BE INSTALLED"
%~1
echo "IT MAY TAKE 5-10 min"
PAUSE

I'm passing the parameter "pnputil" to the bat file. I'm using bat file because i want user to see the output. The problem is that on windows 8 i get 

'pnputil' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.

When i change the pnputil to cmd the output is fine. The administrator rights are not the cause here because pnputil can be launched from console without administrator rights.

You have to call pnputil using %windir%\sysnative\pnputil.exe instead.
