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...
