Elevation batch file script doesn't execute my code - windows

Question

The script that I am using is from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12264592/1016343
I have a batch file that is made for installing Office 365 using their click-to-run installer. It will first check if the directory that contains the XML configurations and setup.exe exists. Once that is confirmed, it will begin Elevate.cmd - Version 4. The only modifications I have made were removing the following lines:
ECHO.
ECHO **************************************
ECHO Invoking UAC for Privilege Escalation
ECHO **************************************
CLS
ECHO.
ECHO =============================
ECHO Running Admin shell
ECHO =============================
REM Run shell as admin (example) - put here code as you like
ECHO %batchName% Arguments: P1=%1 P2=%2 P3=%3 P4=%4 P5=%5 P6=%6 P7=%7 P8=%8 P9=%9
cmd /k
My code is supposed to start after these lines:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::START
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Whenever I run the batch file, I get a UAC prompt. After I accept the prompt, it closes. To confirm that my code is not executed, I added #echo HELLO! > hello.txt right before call setup.exe %config%, but I could not find the file in the directory. It was not in C:\Windows\System32 either.
Here is my batch file, Install.bat:
#echo off
set directory="<PATH EXCLUDED FOR PRIVACY. ALSO ON A NETWORK DRIVE.>"
if not exist %directory% goto :install_not_found
