Why call doesn't work in windows 7 batch file?

Question

I write in a .bat FILE

call "c:\my path\myprog.exe"

But dos says call not a command ?!!

My question is not about cmd prompt but BATCH file.

Answer 1

Call is not for running other programs like that, it is strictly for calling other batch files. You probably want start if your program starts another window, else just type the command by itself on one line.

e.g.

start calc.exe
"C:\Stuff\Program.exe"
