If I run this from
CMD
it works. But when I put it in a
BAT file in execute it, even as an
Administrator, it does nothing aside from flashing
CMD window
I also tried reducing it to basic
but still does not run it
Why does it not work?

There shouldn't be any problem. Open a command prompt and run the script from there instead of double-clicking it so that you can see what the error is.

This is what happens
Code: Select all
C:\>test.bat
C:\>■
'■' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>
Where thas this ■ sign comes from?

That's a result of you saving the file with the wrong encoding. Your batch script must be saved as ANSI or else it will not work correctly.

That checks out, thank you
[Also saving BAT with UTF-8 encoding allows for successful running of it]
