.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / October 2004Lunching dotnet application from batch file in windows 98
Does anyone know a way of executing a dotnet application from a windows 98/ME batch file? At the moment I get 'Bad command or filename' everytime I try to run something. Also, I'd like the execution to wait until the application has finished before moving onto the next batch instruction. Thanks in advance, Chris. 'Bad command or filename' this has nothing to do with the fact that the app you are trying to start is a .Net exe, you can execute .Net exe's just lke normal exes provided the .Net framework is installed. Make sure the directory for the exe is present in the PATH environment variable.

SignatureJeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK I already have quotes around the full path of the executable file and the same batch file is used on Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2K, and WinXP. The only time I get 'Bad command or filename' is when the batch file executes my dotnet app in Win98 and WinME. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Also, If I try to run the application using the run option from the menu, it works perfectly, just not from a batch file.

I don't run W98 but by a process of elimination if the app runs when you double click the .exe from Explorer it must be down to the batch file. Have you tried a batch file to run something simple like Notepad? If that works then it surely must be down to a typo in the batch file? If it doesn't then there's something weird going on - I wonder if a W98 group might be more helpful to you, don't know that many people in this group still use it? SignatureJeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK I've managed to solve the problem by using the 'START' batch file command with a 'NOWAIT' option. > > I already have quotes around the full path of the executable file and > > the same batch file is used on Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2K, and WinXP.
