I have searched for many weeks to solve my problem and can’t find a good way of doing it that works on every machine I may need to use.

I know START command opens a new window to do the .exe, but I want to stay in the same window and run the .exe

(because I want my batch file to continue ONLY WHEN THE .EXE has finished running)

I have found that on some computers when I .exe it opens a new window and other computers is stays in the same window which makes me think my code is fine but there is a setting somewhere on the computers that is different.

Can you help? What are my options? The .exe I am running is NASTRAN which is an engineering solver that runs in command window.

    You probably have a different variant of the .exe on some machines which is called only there, and spawns a separate window, for reasons I cannot know. Search for the .exe file on all machines and compare.

    Also, post your batch file code so we can exactly see how you start the .exe.
