Start a program once the other closes. Windows CMD .bat file edit

I have a program "Blah.exe" that I want start right after the processe Blah2.exe closes.

Blah2 closes by itself in a variable amount of time. Blah2.exe cannot run while blah.exe is running. Blah2.exe must run only once blah.exe closes whenever that might be.

This is what i got so far....

rem Blah
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah\
start Blah

rem Blah2
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah\
start Blah2.exe

Try using the /W flag in start which waits for the program to exit.

rem Blah
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah\
start /W Blah

**???***

rem Blah2
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah\
start /W Blah2.exe

Use CALL command :

@echo off

call C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah\Blah.exe
call C:\Program Files (x86)\Blah\Blah2.exe
