I need to create a .bat file in order to run my Blue Prism process via CMD.
The commands are as follows (in order):
cd C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate
AutomateC.exe /user umang abcd1234 /run MyDemoProcess
Pardon if my question looks too basic as I am new to this stuff.
In order to run any process from a batch file, please follow the below steps:
1) Open a notepad and type the below command :
"C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\AutomateC.exe" /user umang abcd1234 /run "MyDemoProcess"
2) Save the file with .bat extension e.g. Test.bat. Once the saveAs window appears, please enter Test.bat in the FileName textbox and in SaveAs Type dropdown, please select All Files so that it takes the .bat extension.
3) Now whenever you will open the batch file it will trigger your process.
Note Please make sure your runtime resource is connected to the app server and you are able to see your runtime resource running otherwise the above batch file won't work

I just tried to install jmeter - (Apache-j meter-5.1.1) but when I view the bin folder bat file is missing. My configuration details: version of jdk is 12.0.2, my operation system is 64 bit. View the screenshot of bin folder -

Type Windows Batch File is a file type with extension .bat
You have such jmeter file in your screenshot
A batch file is a script file in DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows.
The filename extension .bat is used in DOS and Window
The jmeter.bat file can be obtained from JMeter sources at any time if you removed it by accident.
However in fact you do have the file:
You might want to configure Windows Explorer to show file extensions
In general I would recommend launching JMeter from Windows Command Prompt as in case of i.e. Java misconfiguration you will not be able to see the output given you launch JMeter by double-clicking the shortcut because it will blink and close immediately.
More information: How to Get Started With JMeter: Part 1 - Installation & Test Plans
Just double click on file type named as Jmeter with type as "Windows Batch File" or else open it from command prompt/terminal.

I have a few applications that I am trying to deploy with SCCM 2012 but the installations are failing through the application catalog. So what I have for the deployment type is a script installer. I have "cmd.exe" (Without quotations) in the Installation program field and "Installer.bat" in the installation start in field.
When I look at the ccmcache folder, all the contents over that application are there but the following error displays the Software Center:
0x8007010B(-217024629)
I have done some reading online and the "10B" is a common command line error for invalid directory. I have tested the batch file when hard coding a path but my question is, how can I edit the batch file or SCCM to pull from the CCMCache path where the files are downloaded to on the local client? Currently the Batch File is simply:
#echo off
ApplicationName.exe
Do I need to edit the file to cd into the CCMCache folder where the files are placed? How can I get the batch file to run the executable that is downloaded to the CCMCache folder?
Thank You!
You need to have the full path to the installation in your script
#echo Off
\\path to .exe
The way the command is written will not be able to find the .exe file. You need to add the full unc path to the .exe into your .cmd file. You should have your installation .exe and .cmd file in the same location on the distribution share
Recommended Solution:
Before starting, since you are only launching an exe with your batch file, I would recommend just using your ApplicationName.exe as your command line parameter in SCCM instead of using a batch. This will eliminate the need to engineer any further.
Modifying the existing solution to work:
If you do still want to use a batch file, keep a few things in mind. The syntax you are using to launch the batch file will not work. I would recommend just using the batch file name "installer.bat" as your command line. If you still want to preface the batch with the cmd.exe, you absolutely need to use the /c switch with it
cmd.exe /c installer.bat
If you don't use /c the console host will only open to a promopt and not execute your batch.
This is not an ideal solution though because using "cmd.exe /c" will set your working directory to the location of cmd.exe (ie "C:\windows\system32") and since your content is staged in ccmcache, you will need to specify its location within your batch. To do this, you would use %~dp0 variable which gives you the directory the current batch is running from. This means modifying your batch to read
#echo off
%~dp0ApplicationName.exe
I need to create WinRAR SFX archive that should work with admin permissions on Windows 7. I can make it with WinRAR GUI but I need to make it with WinRAR command line interface (to integrate it into build process).
At the moment my script is like that:
rar.exe a -sfxdefault.sfx archive.exe some_file_to_be_in_sfx
rar.exe c archive.exe -zscenario.txt
while scenario.txt is
TempMode="Extract data from archive?","Title"
Any suggestions are welcome!
First, take a look on question How can I automate the building of this Winrar Sfx File.
Second, if you have open the tab Advanced of Advanced SFX options dialog with the option Request administrative access in WinRAR GUI, there is a button Help which opens the help page for this dialog. This help page contains:
Request administrative access
Set this option if you wish to create SFX archive, which will request the administrative access when started in Windows Vista and later. This option does not change behavior of SFX archive in older Windows versions.
Corresponding command line switch is -iadm.
And this answers your question. -idam is on help page a hyperlink to the help page of this switch.
But the text file Rar.txt in program files folder of WinRAR containing an explanation of all commands and switches supported by console version Rar.exe does not list this switch nor does Rar.exe output it on running it from within a command prompt window with no parameters to get displayed the help for console version.
This means only WinRAR.exe supports the switch -iadm, but not console version Rar.exe. But this is no problem as WinRAR.exe can be executed also from within a batch file from console, best with using background process option -ibck.
Note: Best on creating the command line for WinRAR.exe is opening in help the page Alphabetic switches list via Contents - Command line mode - Switches and read from top to bottom while building the command line. Add the switches you need for creating the SFX archive.
For example:
WinRAR.exe a -cfg- -ep1 -iadm -ibck -inul -k -m5 -ma4 -md4m -r -s -sfxdefault.sfx -tl -y -zscenario.txt archive.exe some_file_to_be_in_sfx
May be Its too late to answer this Question but Simple solution to this is command
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" a helpTestUpdate -s -sfx logFile.txt
This will take the logFile.txt and convert it to the .exe sfx file.
I am trying to execute a .bat file from a command line inside an automation program. I have written a .bat file that works when double clicked but the automation app will not execute the file.
Is there a command that can be included in the .bat file to make it execute when the automation program calls it up? Here is the .bat file I wrote:
[LITE BOX HI (BOTH LOW & MEDIUM) - ON]
cd..
cd..
cd C:\denkovi\drcltjarorg\
java -jar denkovirelaycommandlinetool.jar DAE001x0 8 4 1
java -jar denkovirelaycommandlinetool.jar DAE001x0 8 6 1
Thanks for any ideas.

First try adding "pause" to the bottom of the BAT script to see if there are any errors.
Also verify if the path of the executable you are calling is in the PATH variable for the computer.
Make sure the relevant JAR's are in the correct directory.
In a Setup project the executable files such as ".exe , .dll , .js , .vbs" are acceptable but there is no way to run a .bat file in a Custom Action.
The question is how to run the *.bat files during installation?
Well, after much searching and trial and error I have solved this. I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it works.
Here's the scenario: I have an application I would like to deploy via a Visual Studio Setup project. In addition to my application files, I would like to create a subdirectory in the target directory that contains a batch (.bat) file. I would like this file to run at the end of the installation process.
Here's what you do:
Create a setup project and configure as you normally would, including the subdirectory in which you'll place your batch file (you can just place it in the Application Folder directly if you don't want it in a subdirectory).
In the "File System" view (right-click on the project in Solution Explorer->View->File System), add the batch file you want to execute and cmd.exe (C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe)
Open the "Custom Actions" view (right-click on the project in Solution Explorer->View->Custom Actions)
Right-click on "Commit" and choose "Add Custom Action"
Navigate to and select cmd.exe.
Open the properties panel for the newly created custom action.
Delete /Commit from the Arguments property.
Enter: /c "[TARGETDIR]subdirectoryname\batchfile.bat" in the Arguments property, where subdirectoryname should be replaced by the name of your subdirectory (if you put the batch file in a subdirectory like I did... if you didn't, the value should be /c "[TARGETDIR]batchfile.bat") and batchfile.bat should be the filename of your batch file.
That's it. The batch file will now be executed once the rest of the installation process is completed.
Here's an example for the sake of clarity:
My batch file: blah.bat
My subdirectory: mydir
The value of the Arguments for my custom action targeting cmd.exe would then be
/c "[TARGETDIR]mydir\blah.bat"
One other way to reach the same result is put a .vbs file in custom actions that runs the correspondent .bat file.
The following code is the "RunRegisterComponents.vbs" I put in setup application folder. Of course I put [TARGETDIR] as .vbs parameter in Visual Studio property window.
dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Read the "CustomActionData" property holding the install directory.
dim programDir
programDir= property("CustomActionData")
' Make the batch full file name and parameter
commandString = chr(34) & programDir & "RegisterComponents.bat" & chr(34) & " " & chr(34) &
programDir& chr(34)
' Set the current directory
WshShell.CurrentDirectory = programDir
' Run batch.
ret = WshShell.Run (commandString, 0, 0)
That is as I set my custom actions:
I hope this can help you!
Check this article (article is deprecated), even though it is in VB.NET it applies to C# as well. The most important part is (translated to C#) creating a new Class Library, and adding a new Installer Class with the following content: As stated in the article you can then create a new custom action with a reference to your just created project.
override void Commit(IDictionary savedState)
{
base.Commit(savedState);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("myApp.bat","your bat arguments");
}
Now we are adding batch file to your installer project. Create a setup project and configure as you normally would, including the subdirectory in which you'll place your batch file (you can just place it in the Application Folder directly if you don't want it in a subdirectory).
In the "File System" view (right-click on the project in Solution Explorer->View->File System), add the batch file you want to execute.
Build the installer project.
If you are trying to run a batch file that have relative paths during the installation process, that will fail for sure. That's because the batch file will take into account the directory where the installer is running, and not where the files were being installed. Use installer builders that copies batch files into temporary directory.
