Windows 10: Syntax for Batch file &/or powershell script to run multiple commands

I wanted a batch file to run the following commands:
Start Powershell as administrator
cd "C:\Program Files\Macrium\Reflect"
regsvr32 RContextMenu.dll
regsvr32 RShellEx.dll

I can get as far as:

Code:

After that I get error messages.

I was able to create an Autohotkey script that will do this:

Code:

but I don't know the syntax to create a batch file or powershell script to do this.

Thank you in advance!

Running PowerShell script as a batch file

Hello Baldo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to execute the PowerShell commands as a batch file.



I tried executing the batch file on my machine but I was unable to execute it as the command was incomplete. However, after making some changes in the command I was able to execute the batch file.



You can try the following command by saving it in a batch file and check if that helps.



powershell –Command Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.3dBuilder | Remove-AppxPackage



Also, as the query is related to running a PowerShell script using a batch file, I suggest you to post the issue on

TechNet forums where we have professionals who have more knowledge about the issue.



Hope it helps.

Batch rename files using ForFiles command getting syntax error

Win 10

I want to rename a bunch of files to add a prefix. ie "aaa.url" to "win 10- aaa.url"

I found these pages:

Rename file extensions in bulk from command line [CMD]

Forfiles

the example and my version of the command

forfiles /M *.jpg /C "cmd /c rename @file \"@fname - pic.jpg\""

forfiles /M *.* /C "CMD /c RENAME @FILE \"WIN 10- @FILE\""

I get this output:

D:\Public\Favorites\@test>forfiles /M *.* /C "CMD /c RENAME @FILE \"WIN 10- @FILE\""

As far as I can see I have the syntax OK, but obviously windows does not agree with me.

What am I missing?

 

Batch File Syntax: Insert %USERPROFILE% into batch file command lines

Following batch file code lines work fine.

Batch File that works:

CD "C:\Users\xlmas\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\ToolsNET\bin\Release\"

"C:\Users\xlmas\Documents\Visual Studio DOS Utilities\RegAsm64" "C:\Users\xlmas\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\ToolsNET\bin\Release\ToolsNET.dll" /UNREGISTER

Goal:

Want to substitute the environmental variable %USERPROFILE% for "C:\Users\xlmas" but I keep running into syntax issues. The issue seems to be related to the spaces in the Path. I have attempted the code with and without quotation marks. Either way there
are syntax errors when invoking RegAsm64. If I include quotation marks (to preserve the folder name with spaces) in the Set commands they screw up attempting to run RegAsm64.

Failed attempts:

Set DLLPathEnd="\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\ToolsNET\bin\Release"

Set DosUtilEndPath="\Documents\Visual Studio DOS Utilities"

Set DLLFullPath=%UserProfile%%DLLPathEnd%

CD %DLLFullPath%

Set DosUtilFullPath=%UserProfile%%DosUtilEndPath%

%DosUtilFullPath%\ResAsm64 %DLLFullPath%\ToolsNET.dll /UNREGISTER

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
