Is the c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe prompt window suppose to pop up too? It opens when i run the .bat


Yes, the command prompt is what runs the script.

Update: If you receive an error saying "c:\something\something is not recognized as an internal or external command", wrap the LAUNCHER line in quotes.

Example:
Code
SET LAUNCHER="%APPDATA%\%_CHOSENCLIENT%\IMVUCLient.exe"




Update 2: If you want to install more than 2 clients and wish to have a single file instead of multiple files, check out my tutorial for the all-in-one launcher here: viewtopic.php?f=134&t=10088

That is another method yes, this doesn't require any extra software though.

The problem was caused by a space in their Windows account name. When dealing with spaces in file/directory names in the command prompt, you have to wrap them in quotes. However, since the code uses an environment variable "%appdata%" this was not possible. Therefore, to fix the problem you have to replace the environment variable with a direct path and wrap it in quotes.

I am not sure why the space was causing an issue when using an environment variable though. I would have assumed using it would have bypassed the space issue but it did not.

So if you ever get an error saying unrecognized command when using this script, that's most likely the problem.



Thank you for the tutorial, D.M, Also, I had this problem with other .bat and just solved it reading this. Ty.

Thank you for the useful guide, D.M. This was really helpful !
Now I no longer have an inconvenience switching between
the T3DE client and regular client. In fact, I can install
a lot more then just 2 clients. Pretty much all of the
older versions, including IMVULite if I wanted to!
Much oblige for the information!
