batch files with 6.3

[JesterBlaze]

what's the line to start up FOF now? I'm trying..

START "C:\...\FrFoot2007"

and

START "C:\...\FrFoot2007.exe"

with no success. I'm copying the files correctly on previous lines so I have the new directory setup mapped out right.

start frfoot2007.exe

works for me

FWIW I install all my games on the D drive. FOF2k7 makes me put some files on the C drive, but that is NOT where my executable lives. So I have a non standard installation.

For convience I create a shortcut on the desktop that runs the FOF2k7 executable.

Anyways good luck JesterBlaze.

Just to point out the obvious, I do not put the path in my "start"-statement, only the exe file. That's because my bat files actually reside in the same directory as the EXE-file, and I only put a shortcut to said BAT-file on my desktop.

This is my entire bat-file for IFL:

copy universe\IFL\frfoot.fni universe\
copy universe\IFL\frfoot.fcy universe\
copy universe\IFL\frfoot.fgr universe\
copy universe\IFL\*.bmp pictures\
start frfoot2007.exe

with 6.3a my batch file is in
C:\Program Files\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007

and it is

copy "universe\Imperial\frfoot.fni" "C:\Documents and Settings\Matt & Angie Wheeler\Application Data\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\universe\"
copy "universe\Imperial\frfoot.fcy" "C:\Documents and Settings\Matt & Angie Wheeler\Application Data\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\universe\"
copy "universe\Imperial\*.bmp" "pictures\"
start frfoot2007.exe

I took it down when we started to run close to the space limitations.
You should be able throw something up later.
