path - BAT File - START not working randomly on some Windows 7 machines -

i have bat file i'm using start googlechromeportable , open web page in kiok mode.

it works great on machine , 3 others, except 1 alerts me .exe cannot found i.e. path set not working. here's code:

@echo off set path=%path%;"./folder/chromefolder" start /b googlechromeportable.exe --kiosk "../../../../index.html" 

i run off usb. ../../../../index.html there because chrome starts 4 layers deep in folder structure though googlechromeportable 3 above chrome.exe (might not relevant).

tested on 1*windows8(worked), 1*windows7(worked), 2*windowsxp(worked) 1*windows7(failed).

error message: "windows cannot find googlechromeportable.exe make sure typed address correctly"

i have tried starting bat in administrator mode , still did not work.

i have tried typing in step step , it's the

start googlechromeportable.exe 

that failing

---

solution

right. fixed it. no idea why works if knows i'd love know. instead of code above i've used:

start %~dp0folder/chrome/googlechromeportable.exe --kiosk "../../../../index.html" 

and that's it. ideas why works , other method doesn't on 1 machine?

"3 above it" - 3 above what?

you appear attempting add ".\folder\chromefolder" path - perhaps might idea add directory "3 above it" googlechromeportable.exe on path - presumably on usb.

mayhap googlechromeportable.exe on path on other machines...
