i have made a batch file in windows 7 OS. When i double click on that batch file it opens in notepad and it is not executing code of my batch file. What should i do now to run or execute batch file? Please help me. It is so much serious for me .
OK there are many things that could be wrong and many ways to fix it but i think the quickest way to fix it would be to rename you file to a .cmd instead of a .bat (they are just the same.)
find that reg key and delete value data "notepad.exe"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \ Explorer \FileExts \.bat \
it will work.

I'm trying to create a SFX file and run a vbs afterwards.
Here's my config file:
;!#Install#!UTF-8!
InstallPath="c:\\windows\\temp\\"
ExecuteFile="cscript.exe"
ExecuteParameters="c:\\windows\\temp\\script.vbs"
;!#InstallEnd#!
The .7z archive is not corrupt, I cn=an open and extract files.
here's how I created the .exe:
copy /b 7zS.sfx + config.txt + SylinkReplacer.7z SylinkReplacer.exe
When I run it a cmd windows flashes I have the feeling it's trying tu run the vbs but I can see it has not been extracted in C:\windows\temp.
I ran process monitor and apparently it extract the files in my users' %appdata% within a temporary folder named 7zNNNNNN which gets deleted afterwards.
Any suggestion? Thanks
I found a way to make it work (I actually found it on stackoverflow but now I can't find it anymore).
;!#Install#!UTF-8!
ExecuteFile="ReplaceSylink.vbs"
;!#InstallEnd#!
This is not the best solution since I wanted it to run it with cscript (console) while on many servers the default engine is wscript (GUI).
I'll use something to force cscript like this on this one http://www.robvanderwoude.com/vbstech_engine_force.php
I am trying to uninstall Oracle on this Windows 7 (64 bit) machine by downloading a standalone tool from Oracle, I need to run a batch file that is supposed to uninstall but I am unable to run it.
I tried to open command prompt as administrator and I am trying to run this as below:
As you can clearly see from the screenshot, I am doing a "dir" on the directory and can clearly see the file right there. Not sure what's going on here.
I also tried to run the batch file by double clicking from Windows Explorer and a terminal window opens and closes quickly but the batch file is not doing what it is supposed to do (it is clearly not executing from Windows Explorer).
Can anyone help me with this?
As theB pointed out above in a comment, this worked for me:
Open the bat file in notepad. I'll bet it starts with #echo off, and
that the error is actually coming from inside the batch file. The
error if the batch file itself wasn't found is 'X' is not recognized
as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
'Run as Administrator' changes the current directory. See my answer here
Difference between "%~dp0" and ".\"?
I am trying to make a scheduled batch file to run with the volume shadow copy service to copy the outlook.pst file from microsoft outlook.
The commands work properly when i enter them in the command panel but when i setup the same code in a batch file it gives me an invalid number of parameters error in during the second line.
You have to use administrator access on cmd and the batch file for it to even work and i am doing that but i have no clue as to why i get an error only in the batch version but not in cmd?
I found this link helpful.
Its where i found the batch file which simplifies the process incase anyone is wondering.
Heres the code :
CALL MountLatestShadowCopy "C:\MyShadow\"
xcopy /y "C:\MyShadow\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Outlookove datoteke\*.pst" "\\hyp\backup"
RMDIR "C:\MyShadow"
pause
Anyone have any ideas as to the cause of my problems? Its supposed to simply copy the .pst file to a server for backup which i will run on a regular schedule.
Outlook is usually the first thing people open when they turn on their computers so i have to use volume shadow copy otherwise getting a copy might be hard on certain computers.
Thanks for the help in advance!
This following code in my bat file copy's the bat file while it's running into a correct directory in windows 7 but when I convert it to a exe script it no longer works.
Can any one suggest a alternative ? Or any suggestions to why?
if not exist "%programfiles%\toolset\" (
md "%programfiles%\toolset\"
copy "%~f0" "%programfiles%\toolset\"
)
can any one else help I'm pretty sure it's not my converter tool I use as I have tried all the ones listed below but I think the script needs editing for it to function as exe application?
You can try the following nice tool
http://www.battoexeconverter.com/
since you are accessing programfiles you need to be admin
To do this run the cmd in admin mode and try to execute in command line
Download this tool. It works well.
Bat2Exe
You can add administrator manifest to run as administrator when opening the exe file.
I am a batch programmer just like you.
Personally I use this tool;

Nice tool, only requires a download, used it multiple times, never dissappointed me, and it is very legit, have no doubts about it!

some bat files need to be launched at the start of the session, but they don't.
Actually, when trying to launch one from the explorer, it opens the Open with window instead of just runnig.
However, the bat files still run correctly from the command prompt.
I bet it has been caused by a virus, but the antivirus did not detect anything unfortunately.
Any idea?
Use the Open With command, select cmd.exe, then before you hit OK, check the box that says "always use this program to open this type of file" or something similar.
If cmd.exe is not in the choices, browse to c:\windows\system32, and cmd.exe should be in there.
You can re associate the extension by downloading the reg file for batch from the link below which should solve your problem.
