Run exe file with parameters in a batch file

Question

If you need to see the output of the execute, use CALL together with or instead of START.

Example:

CALL "C:\Program Files\Certain Directory\file.exe" -param PAUSE

This will run the file.exe and print back whatever it outputs, in the same command window. Remember the PAUSE after the call or else the window may close instantly.

Unless it s just a simplified example for the question  my advice is that drop the batch wrapper and schedule PHP directly  more specifically the php-win exe program  which won t open unnecessary windows   Program  c  program files php php-win exe Arguments  D  mydocs mp index php param1 param2   Otherwise  just quote stuff as Andrew points out     In older versions of Windows  you should be able to put everything in the single  Run  text box  as long as you quote everything that has spaces     c  program files php php-win exe  D  mydocs mp index php param1 param2

This should work   start     c  program files php php exe  D  mydocs mp index php param1 param2   The start command interprets the first argument as a window title if it contains spaces  In this case  that means start considers your whole argument a title and sees no command  Passing     an empty title  as the first argument to start fixes the problem
