Question

I want to run Batch file 1(Path C:\3rdparty\Test\App) from Batch file 2(C:)
and VS2008.sln is there in C:\3rdparty\Test\App\VS2008

Batch File 1

REM BatchFile1.bat

set DEVENV_PATH=%VS90COMNTOOLS%..\IDE

REM ---------------------------------------------------------------------

set OUTDIR=.\output\windows\x86
rmdir /S /Q %OUTDIR%
mkdir %OUTDIR%

call "%DEVENV_PATH%\devenv.com" VS2008\VS2008.sln /Rebuild "Release|Win32"
call "%DEVENV_PATH%\devenv.com" VS2008\VS2008.sln /Rebuild "Debug|Win32"

REM ---------------------------------------------------------------------

set OUTDIR=.\output\windows\x64
rmdir /S /Q %OUTDIR%
mkdir %OUTDIR%

call "%DEVENV_PATH%\devenv.com" VS2008\VS2008.sln /Rebuild "Release|x64"
call "%DEVENV_PATH%\devenv.com" VS2008\VS2008.sln /Rebuild "Debug|x64"

REM ---------------------------------------------------------------------


echo "BatchFile1.bat completed."

Batch File 2

echo "Running Batch File 2"
call C:\3rdparty\Test\App\BatchFile1.bat

Here when batchfile1 is called from Batchfile2 it is not able to execute VS2008.sln since path is different.
I Don’t want to change batchfile1.Is it possible to do changes in batch file 2 to execute the Batch file1.

Answer 1

Try changing the directory to the directory of BatchFile1.

echo "Running Batch File 2" 
cd C:\3rdparty\Test\App
call BatchFile1.bat
