How can i run a .exe-file with batch?
first off: i've been making batch-files before, but this time (i don't know how or why) I've got stuck with something simple. So I'm trying to make a program which starts a virtual disc and opens a game afterwards. Could you guys please help me? What is wrong with my program?
@echo off
title Diablo Starter
color 4a
:start
cls
echo (D)iablo / Diablo (L)oD
set /p choose=Was soll ausgefuehrt werden?
if %choose%==d goto simple
if %choose%==D goto simple
if %choose%==l goto exp
if %choose%==L goto exp
echo Bitte geben Sie entweder 'D' oder 'L' ein.
pause
goto start
:simple
cls
start "C:Dokumente und EinstellungenUserDesktopHauptordnerDiablo II + LoD2. PLAY DISC.ISO"
@ping -n 4 localhost> nul
start "C:ProgrammeDiablo IIDiablo II.exe"
exit
:exp
cls
start "C:Dokumente und EinstellungenUserDesktopHauptordnerDiablo II + LoD4. EXPANSION DISC.ISO"
@ping -n 4 localhost> nul
start "C:Dokumente und EinstellungenUserStartmenüProgrammeDiablo IIDiablo II - Lord of Destruction"

Where it should start the game, it just opens a cmd prompt with the path of the exe
Please read the syntax for start.
You have the program name in quotes (which are required because the program name contains spaces) but start interprets this as the window title.
Provide an empty title string as follows:
start "" "C:Dokumente und EinstellungenUserDesktopHauptordnerDiablo II + LoD4. EXPANSION DISC.ISO".
Syntax
START "title" [/D path] [options] "command" [parameters]
...
Always include a TITLE this can be a simple string like "My Script" or
just a pair of empty quotes ""
According to the Microsoft documentation, the title is optional, but
depending on the other options chosen you can have problems if it is
omitted.
