What I do with any program is to see and check if it tries to communicate with errorLevel's, always.
Code: Select all
@echo off
"%$fullPathFile%"
echo.errorLevel=%errorLevel%_
pause
Whereas errorLevel zero means there is no error, or the developer didn't care to bother, or it is intended to behave like that.

@ed dyreen
it gave me errorlevel zero and as you say i suspect that it was designed that way

have you tried adding a pause in your batch file to stop and check what
the error message is?
