Hi there, does anybody know if it's possible to execute a file within a batch file and have it also run some windows commands?

This is what I have so far:

Command to execute a file:
"\\ykapp\RIMS9000\_Filing Bin Installation Files\_3 FBinConf.exe"

This executable file POPS up with "INSTALL" or "CANCEL" commands. I WOULD like to always have this file select the "INSTALL" option (HOTKEY ALT I)

I'm trying to get my batch file to execute the EXE file and select "INSTALL" to continue the installation. Make sense

Thanks a lot.does the "_3 FBinConf.exe" support command line switching??

like /silent to install without promptingI don't believe it does. Is there a way to find out?
Thanks..navigate to the exe in a dos prompt and type exename /?when I do that, it just launches the executable file.that'll be a no then.

tbh i'm not sure your going to be able to do this in dos (i could be wrong - it has happened before!!)

As i'm sure you know dos won't click on "ok" or ANYTHING like that. You might have to try a different language.


sorry i couldn't help more.


You could try echo I | command[/i], but don't take my word for it.
