Calling a program from a bat script
Posted on 2011-03-07
Dear all,
I have a program under the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\delprof.exe
Normally I have to navigate my command prompt to that folder to call the program.
Does anyone know how I can put this into a script?
I also have to put the following after the script delprof.exe /Q /I /D:30
Thanks,
Lyon

If it's a batch file or a PowerShell script simply call it as if you were typing it:
Don't forget to enclose any paths with spaces in quotes
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\delprof.exe" /Q /I /D:30
Don't forget to enclose any paths with spaces in quotes
add ";C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" to the path (without quotes)
in System Proerties >> environment variables >> system variables
in System Proerties >> environment variables >> system variables

or --- cmd.bat --->
set path = %path%;"c:\program files\windows resource kits\tools\";
delprof /q /i /d:30
<---
use in between the --> and <-- in your batch file
set path = %path%;"c:\program files\windows resource kits\tools\";
delprof /q /i /d:30

If you want to run multiple entries from a path in a batch script then use the cd or pushd commands to change to that dir, i.e.
@echo off
cls
echo %date% %time% Running delprof
pushd
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
delprof.exe /Q /I /D:30
rem some other resource kit commands here
popd
echo %date% %time% Finished running delprof
pause
Save it as whatever.cmd (rather than .bat) and off you go.
Or if ou just want to run this one script just create a new shortcut on your desktop etc. with the full path in it.
