Use this in your batch file     dp0 bin Iris exe     dp0 resolves to the full path of the folder in which the batch script resides

I have found that  CD  gives the path the script was called from and not the path of the script  however    dp0 will give the path of the script itself

either bin Iris exe  no leading slash - because that means start right from the root  or  Program bin Iris exe  full path
