nircmd: I can't run another batch file with nircmd.exe?

Question

I have wrote a batch file that i want to run another program with nircmd.exe. But the problem is i can't run it? The batch file(Matrix.bat) runs correctlyby double-click it. But when i trying to open it with nircmd.exe, it doesn't run? why? i tried two method:

RunMethod1.bat (for runing another batch file)

SET INSTALLPATH=d:\atlantic
start %INSTALLPATH%\nircmd exec show  %INSTALLPATH%\Matrix.bat

RunMethod1.bat (for runing another batch file)

SET INSTALLPATH=d:\atlantic
%INSTALLPATH%\nircmd exec show  %INSTALLPATH%\Matrix.bat

Answer 1

The problem was in path of nircmd.exe. I set path of nircmd but i didn't know why it isn't work correctly? with "pushd" command i set the path of cmd into where nircmd.exe exist. and Bow!!! everything works cerrectly. Maybe a syntax problem. If everyone know that say it here.

SET INSTALLPATH=d:\atlantic
pushd %INSTALLPATH%
nircmd exec show Matrix.bat

Answer 2

The exec command in nircmd does not run batch files but executable files. Change your code to

start "" "%INSTALLPATH%\nircmd.exe" exec show "%comspec%" "%INSTALLPATH%\Matrix.bat"

Now, nircmd executes a cmd instance that will handle the batch file execution
