dsobbe Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) For many years I've been using a batch file to start Black Shark 1.0.1, Voice Activated Commands and TrackIR5 under Windows Vista. I recently installed Black Shark 1.0.1, Voice Activated Commands and TrackIR5 under Windows 7. The batch file starts both VAC and TrackIR, but displays "Cannot find Console" in the command prompt and does not load Black Shark. I've tried deleting "--Console" but Black Shark still does not load and displays "directory is invalid" in the command prompt. @echo off REM Start BS, VAC and TrackIR. Then, close BS and VAC. start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5" start "" /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\launcher.exe" --Console start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\VAC System\VACSystem.exe" MyShark.xml,True echo To close VAC pause taskkill /im VACSystem.exe taskkill /im TrackIR.exe I'm not up to speed on Window 7 batch files or scripts. Can anyone tell me how to modify this batch file, or write a new file, to start Black Shark? Thanks Edited October 15, 2015 by dsobbe updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjdriver Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Check the path - doesn't look right? If right, i think you should remove the /D in the start command - that switch expects a path - not a full filename. or should be start "" /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable" launcher.exe --Console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a lot of reading and editing I found that line should read: start "" /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50" bin\stable\launcher.exe --Console A matter of the quote mark (") being in the wrong place. My batch file is located in \KA50\. That is why the quote mark is there. There is also a discussion of this kind of problem here: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2642228/help_needed_launcher_exe_has_s.html At any rate, My batch file now starts and then closes all three programs cleanly and correctly. Thanks for your input. :thumbup: dsobbe Edited October 16, 2015 by dsobbe typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
