    App doesnt open through a batch file


    Chaps...


    I have a desktop running with a few apps 24/7 feeding to a network, on the rare occasion it drops or restarts due to some update or power outage I thought I could write a simple batchfile just to restart everything automatically.

    Problem is 1 app refuses to start, the app itself is in c:\program files (x86)\ and that seems to be the issue. Error message I get is "cannot find c:\program"

    path for the app is...

    C:\Program Files (x86)\COAA\PlanePlotter\PlanePlotter.exe

    the other 2 apps open fine (but they are not pathed to (x86). am I going daft or missed something simple?

    any help welcome....
    (Win 10 64 bit all updted)

    tyvm...

    :)

    microsoft should make a store app for just batch files or vbs scripts and software

    so I was thinking people could make help full batch files that will help people so they do not have to do a lot of typing to fix their pc .

    We all know that batch files are very powerful scripts. SO if you can use the batch files and vbs to help others all the batch files should be free. This could help millions of people or get people to start making batch files to . I want this to happen .and
    apply the new store app so it comes through an update not get it from the store.

    Thanks,

    I'm going through the steps but running into the problem of not being able to open the batch file I downloaded.

    I've double clicked on it and right clicked to open it but no dice.

    App doesnt open through a batch file

    you have to put quote " " around the path cmd in your .bat fie..

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\COAA\PlanePlotter\PlanePlotter.exe"

    you can not have spaces in cmd wording without using quotes ( the path halts at the first space ) thus ( C:\Program )

    Kyhi is 100% correct.

    ...but why not use Powershell... it's more dynamic - eg: envApp doesnt open through a batch file :programFiles(x86) + whatever path...
