WMIC in cmd file

[jheibeck]

When I use wmic product where "name like 'java%'" call uninstall /nointeractive it works fine and uninstalls all versions of java.

However, when I place the same command in a cmd file, when run it prints to the cmd window wmic product where "name like 'java'" call uninstall /nointeractive.

Notice the % sign is missing but nothing else is changed. Therefore only some versions of java are removed.

Any idea why this is happening?

If the percent is legal syntax then in a batch file it needs to be doubled to %%

Thank you. That solved the problem.
