How to get access to 64 bit folder (System32) from 32 bit Delphi application using batch file?

I'm trying to execute this test batch file from 32 bit application made in delphi 7. I'm using simple ShellExecute('install.cmd',SW_HIDE) function. The problem is that due to 32 bit host application first line is ignored. I know why windows does that but my question is how to disable that default behaviour. I tried replacing "System32" with "SysNative" but it was interpreted by xcopy as regular folder.

Install.cmd

  xcopy "SomeLibrary_64bit.dll" "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\" /Y 
  xcopy "SomeLibrary_32bit.dll" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\" /Y

Ok. It turns out that solution to my problem is to execute script via specific 64 bit cmd.exe. For example

RunCMD(WinDir+'\SysNative\cmd.exe /c "'+programdir+'\Tools\AviSynth\Install.cmd"',SW_HIDE);
