.bat file to search a exe file location

[Kapone]

Hi!
Does anybody can help me to create one .bat file that search the location of a file (dorgem.exe) and executes it?
And another .bat file to open a new browser minimized with a url (http:\\[url]www.dcc.online.pt\~c**07065)?[/url]
Any help would be apreciatet.
Thanks!

Is this .exe on a system running Windows? How many drives are available to search through? Ex: C: D: E: ?? Does the .exe have any parameters to run hidden or do you want the program to interact w/ the user?

Are you sure you want two batch files? You can write a simple line of code to execute iexplore.exe in the same batch script...

Yes,the .exe is running on Windows, it's the executable file of a program that will be instaled by a user, that's why i want to search it! the .bat will be used by the user, to open that program. I don't need two batch file, it can be one. but it have to open a new explorer.
Thanks!

Hello there,
do you know which are the commands in a .bat file that first executes the installation .exe of a software, than runs it?
thanks a lot.

To start any .exe you type

start whatever.exe

If the .exe has any parameters that you can pass to the .exe you would have to enter those in after the .exe Some programs have parameters that will silently install an application while others will just execute the install file. You need to read the readme.txt and help files that come with the .exe to see what your options are.

If you are trying to install programs from active directory onto X amount of puters then look for an MSI file that comes w/ the application. You can apply specific settings when the program gets installed on each machine.

the problem is this:
I'm gone a send a program installation file to a user, with the batch file that i want. The User will install the program in the folder that he want. And the thing is that when he executes my batch file it always runs the program and opens a new browser with my webpage. As I don't know where the user installed the program, the batch file has to be programmed to search the executavel file , to run it. Debtor for the aid!

Why dont you write the program so that it creates a shortcut to its install path once its finished installing? I dont think i really understand what you are trying to do... Why would you send someone a program and then send them a batch file to start the program? Please try to be a little more clear
