I am unable to use the xxd utility in Vim 7.3.35 on Windows XP

From :help win32-PATH:
The directory of the Vim executable is appended to $PATH. This is
mostly to
make "!xxd' work, as it is in the Tools menu. And it also means that
when
executable() returns 1 the executable can actually be executed.
In Vim 7.3.35, :echo $PATH does not include the Vim install directory.
It does include this directory in Vim 7.3.27.
I remember there were modifications of how Vim works with the system
PATH back in version 7.3.34, perhaps that is where the error was
introduced.
well, you can do any of the following (assuming that, when Vim is
running, $VIMRUNTIME resolves to C:\Program Files\vim\vim73):
a) Find where your environment variables are defined (when I was on XP,
it used to be somewhere under "My Computer => System => Advanced" IIRC)
and add C:\Program Files\vim\vim73 to the PATH (which is a
semicolon-separated list), or
b) do
path "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\vim\vim73"
at any point before starting Vim, so that it inherits it from the shell, or
c) add
if !has('unix') && stridx($PATH, $VIMRUNTIME) == -1
let $PATH .= ($PATH == ""? "" : ";") . $VIMRUNTIME
endif
somewhere near the top of your vimrc.
Best regards,
Tony.
