How to read output of Windows command line programs in Lazarus

[vfclists]

I am trying to do this in Lazarus, however the program simply hangs.
What have I missed out?

Does Windows require a different method?

Code: [Select]

procedure GetIPConfigIniFile(var ipConfigOutput, iniFileOut:string);
var
   AProcess: TProcess;
   AStringList: TStringList;
   i, adapterPos, colonPos: integer;
begin
  AProcess := TProcess.Create(nil);
  AStringList := TStringList.Create;
  AProcess.CommandLine := 'ipconfig';
  AProcess.Options := AProcess.Options + [poWaitOnExit, poUsePipes];
  AProcess.Execute;
end;

They don't work as expected.

Ping only works correctly with [poWaitOnExit, poUsePipes].
ipconfig only works correctly with  [poUsePipes].

Getting to find out what works and what doesn't is going to be painful.
