Problem with Create.bat

Post by hurricane51 »

OK, the problem isn't really with Create.bat. The problem is when I try to create a new server Create.bat never runs to completion. It seems to choke on the last two lines:

mkdir ..\..\myservers\%1
copy PcHelpWare_server.exe ..\..\myservers\%1\PcHelpWare_server.exe

When I run Create Server, the bat file opens up in Notepad -- why I don't know -- as if this is designed to help me. With no other information it isn't much help.

Anyway, I tracked down the newly created PcHelpWare_server.exe file, and it is sitting in the \create_server\server folder. Works perfectly, just didn't get copied to the correct folder in myservers.

Now, here is the weird part: I can run Create.bat in a DOS window and it runs perfectly every time, no matter if the directory needs to be created or it already exists.

What's even stranger is that this was working fine yesterday. I haven't changed a thing. I just wanted to create a new server with a different screen quality, and this behavior started.

Any ideas?

The Creat.bat will open a CMD window for running. Did it happened the CMD window is setted to start at somewhere NOT the same directory as the Creat.bat?

The CMD window always has opened in C:\Users\AccountName.

I have changed nothing. I no longer see the CMD window -- it opens the batch file as soon as I finish entering the prompts.
