EXE COM BAT Files won't run.

We are seeing a strange issue on several of our desktops where the top
part of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys are being deleted. Included, but not
limited to, are the keys .exe .bat .cpl and .com.
We have scanned for viruses using the latest definitions and different
programs to no avail. Has anyone ever seen NAL app go bad and do
something like this. Any ideas?
TIA,

Random exe-files won't run on windows. Driver related?

Hope someone smarter than me can find an answer to this...
I've tried running a bunch of games via bootcamp and random exe-files won't run. A couple of times the setup.exe wouldn't start and other times the installations go fine but the game itself refuses. I get a short flash of a dos prompter that disappears within the fraction of a second and then nothing happens at all.
I get the same thing weather I run XP SP3 or Win 7 x86 and I've probably tried ten games all together.
I'm thinking it must somehow be driver (or else way BootCamp) related since all games have been successfully run on native PCs.
Any ideas?

I get a short flash of a dos prompter that disappears within the fraction of a second and then nothing happens at all.
That sounds almost like trouble with your Windows Installer.
What versions of Windows installer are you running for each of your OSes?
A quick way to check: bring up a Run line, type msiexec and hit the Enter key. The Windows Installer version should be at the top of the information screen that comes up.

Aggregator EXE files won't run

Hi,
I'm new to using Captivate and I recently created my first Captivate-based lesson. I have 5 discrete learning modules each with their own multiple-choice quiz, so I decided it would be best to make 5 different projects and then stitch them together using Aggregator. I want to publish both an APP file for Mac users and an EXE file for PC folks. The APP file I create in Aggregator runs just fine, but the EXE file won't run. There are no error messages, it just doesn't do anything when you try to run the file.
Here is what I have tried (without success):
Both XP and Win 7 (won't run on either)
Installing newest version of Flash Player
Running the EXE file as an Admin
Oddly enough, if I publish each of the 5 projects as an EXE separately, they run just fine. My back-up plan is to make the PC users open each of the 5 modules separately, but I'd prefer to avoid this if I can.
Am I doing something wrong in Aggregator? It seems pretty simple and the APP file works...
Thanks for any help!
Jess

Hi Rod,
That was a great idea. Unfortunately, none of the 5 Aggregator EXE files (each with one of the 5 projects missing from it) worked. I double-checked the 5 EXE files that I published individually directly from Captivate (without Aggregator) and all of them work just fine. It's looking like I need to go with plan B and just force my users to return repeatedly to the CD-ROM to open each subsequent module.
I asked a friend to run the Aggregator-created APP file on his Mac and it wouldn't run for him even though it will run for me on my Mac. So I'm thinking I will need to publish each of the 5 projects as separate APP files as well and the Mac and PC folks will be in the same boat.
Thanks,
Jess

How to call a exe or bat file from java program

hi,
i actually want to know that how to call a exe or bat file from program so that i can run them parallely.

Try this :
String strCmd = "myFile.bat";
try
     Runtime rTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process process = rTime.exec(strCmd);
     InputStream p_in = process.getInputStream();
     OutputStream p_out = process.getOutputStream();
     InputStream p_err = process.getErrorStream();
     p_in.close();
     p_out.close();
     p_err.close();
catch(Exception e) {
     throw new Exception("Unable to start, "+strCmd);
}

Mac executable file won't run on Mac

I am trying to get a mac executable file to run on a mac. It has been authored in Captivate 5.0 PC version.
I have tried to run it on a Mac book, about 5 years old and nothing opens at all and same on an old G4. I have had no other opportunity to test it on another mac.
The the html/flash version plays ok in safari, but not .app or PDF. All files designed to run on PC run ok.
I am a complete novice on mac's, but assume that opening the .app file like an .exe file on PC will launch the program.
The package I have made is about 96 mb as a .app file and is about 80 odd slides long and also contains an number of flv files.
I have been looking very hard to see if anyone else is has experienced the same or similar problem and have found nothing useful.
I would assume it has nothing to do with flash player as everything that the program needs should be self contained in the executable.
Thanks

The G4 is running OS 10.2.3.
I created a test Mac projector in Director then tested it on the same Mac and the .classic and .osx files ran ok.
Do you think it is an issue with Captivate .app files not being compatible with early version of OS?, or something more fundamental with the .app files and the OS.
I guess there is no realistic way to convert the Captivate .app file directory to a .osx file?, as there may well be occasions when the package will be used on older Mac OS systems.
I will try and get it tested on a later OS System.
Many Thanks

Batch File Won't Run as a Scheduled Task

I have two batch files that won't run as scheduled tasks but run perfectly fine when I double-click them.
I've already set them to run with highest privileges, the account running them is an administrator account, that account has full permissions to the folder and file. I've checked every thread I could find but they simply won't run. No error, no log, nothing...
If I right click the scheduled task and select Run, nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As far as I know, you have to enter the script folder in the "Start in" field. Else it just won't work - and won't really give you any meaningful error messages. So, please check your setting.

Post-Install Batch File Won't Run

Ok here's the deal. I have created an application that needs a little "cleanup" after the installer finishes. To handle this operation, I created a batch file and told the LV installer to run it after the installation. This works fine on every computer I have tried it on ---
Except One
Thinking that there might be a problem related to the commands themseloves, I added echos to a log file to save any errors that might occur and to save basic information like paths. However on that ONE computer I don't get the log file even being created, which says to me that the batch is not being executed. However, If I go to the installation direcctory and run it manually, it runs, it does what it is supposed to do and it stops.
The computer this happens on is a corporate laptop that is configured interms of security and permissions like every other corporate laptop.
I am officially confused. Any ideas? WAGs? Suggestions? Recommendations?
Mike...

I remember years ago when this feature first came out I tried it with a batch file and I thought it didn't work, and that it only supported running an EXE not thing else. Since then they apparently fixed that. So my only suggestion is maybe to try to run an EXE instead of a batch file? Of course it sounds like it is working on other machines so I doubt that is it.
What about UAC? You say it is a corporate machine so I doubt you can, but maybe lower the UAC to nothing and see if it works. Of course if it doesn't that probably isn't a good solution.
Anti-virus running? Some have a log of the things it blocks, and it might list the fact that it prevented a batch file from running.
The only time I ever used this feature on an EXE I don't remember it not running on the dozen or so PCs I used it on.

.mov files won't run in Yosemite

Jar file won't run

Why is it that whenever i run my program using eclipse it works fine but whenever i export a jar file of it, it doesn't run at all?
It does not even give an error message and this happens for only one specific class, all the others expoort perfectly

Probably either 1) the jar file is not located where it should be, or 2) the jar file does not have (or it's incorrect) a manifest file.
Since you don't give any useful diagnostic information, hard to tell more.

Scheduled task won't run .bat file

Hi. On Windows Server 2008 I have a scheduled task that calls a .bat file. The fist step in the .bat file is write to a log file to the same directory in which the .bat file exists. This allows me to find out if it is ever run. When the .bat file is run from a command prompt it runs as expected writing to the log file and completing its actions. My problem is that when I run the scheduled task manually or allow it to run when scheduled it appears to run but the .bat file is never run. No log file is ever created. The History tab in the properties of the scheduled tasks shows the task being started and running then completing with an operation code of 2. I've disabled the UAC for the user account. I've set the task to run as the Administrator user and verified the permissions for that user. I know the password is correct for the task because I can make changes to the properties and save those changes with the username/password. I'm at a loss for further troubleshooting steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why these .bat files are not being run?

So I had this problem, I double clicked on the .bat and notepad opened the .bat. I ran through this whole long and very absorbing thread of this forum.   I wanted to save the entries that were most helpful, so I copied and pasted into
a notepad document (.txt) I could not find a way to attach it here, so I copied and pasted that below. I called it a synopsis.... Did I spell that right?
As you can see, I added my experience at the top (A and B). The stuff I copied is noted with the original author. This is the first time I posted anything to these here microsoft forums, although I have been telling computers what to do for 40+ years.
So hope I did not break any social protocols here.

A) manually
     This is an opinion added by Thomas Rock
    1) Open a command window (that would be cmd.exe)
    2) In the command window navigate to the directory containing the .bat file and it's dependents
           ex... C:\Program Files (x86)\Bobs\Your\Uncle
    3) Run the .bat file by typing the name including the .bat extension (in the command window of course)
             TheBatFile.bat
       Note: Using this method, the .bat file will run in the current command window directory (the directory where the .bat file is located)
                         (this is the key for getting it to run in the task scheduler... Start in folder option)
B) The double click
            This is an opinion added by Thomas Rock
     1) Using Windows exlporer, find the .bat file
     2) use the mouse or other device to double click on the .bat file
     3) if it does not run (in my case the wordpad application opened the .bat file)
          a) make sure that the .bat file extension is associated with the program c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
          b) make sure the profile you are using has rights to run the cmd.exe
          c) make sure the profile has the rights to the directories, the .bat and any other objects used or affected by the .bat file processing.
C) As a task using task scheduler
     Proposed As Answer by Brian Vandemark Wednesday, September 02, 2009 9:36 PM
1) Make sure that the task is set to "configure for Windows Vista or Windows 2008" on the first page of the task properties (under the "general" tab)
2) Make sure that the task is set to "start in" the folder that contains the batch file:
      a) open the task properties
      b) click on the "actions" tab
      c) click on the action and then the "edit" button at the bottom.
      d) In the "Edit Action" Window there is a field for "start in (optional)" that you set to the path to the batch file.
      e) be sure to include an end backslash for the start in path "C:\dir1\dir2\"    (the last backslash is not optional)
3) Make sure that the task is running as an account that has explicit "Full access" permissions to all these things:
      a) the .bat file itself
      b) the folder containing the .bat file
      c) the target files/folders that are affected by the .bat script.
           Note: Inherited permissions did not seem to work.
4) Make sure that the account running the task is a member of the local "administrators" group for this machine
5) Make sure that the task is set to "run whether logged on or not"
6) Tick the box "Run with highest privileges".
       Note: Point 6 here was from Edson F. Lima Wednesday June 30 2010 1:35 PM
                  The original point 6 was moved to point 7.
7) The Task should run successfully with expected output when you right-click on the task and select "run"
        If it does that then it will run successfully when you are logged off.
D) Still another way as a task using task scheduler

This has been bugging me for 6 or 7 months.
I don't have admin rights to the box and the guy who does is very busy...
so I've felt the range of emotions mentioned above.
I tried most everything above as well. But what seemed to get my processes processing, was ...
   • on the General tab, I clicked the Change User or Group button
   • in Select User or Group (first smaller dialog box) I clicked the Advanced... button
   • in the next Select User or Group (second bigger dialog box) I clicked the Find Now button
   • in the Search results I selected the Administrators (a group) and it returned SERVERname\Administrators into the "Enter the object name to select" entry in the previous dialog box
   • then I clicked OK and returned to the General tab above
   • the options to Run only when user is logged on and Run whether user is logged on or not are no longer available
   • then I made sure that the Run with highest privileges was checked
   • then I clicked OK and during the next scheduled time to run ... it ran
   Note: See note in A) Manually above.
E) Task scheduler recommendation
     Proposed As Answer byTamusJRoyceThursday, December 01, 2011 3:42 PM
I have found .bat and .cmd files do not run correctly either.
    My solution: Don't run the batch file directly.
       Have TaskScheduler run: cmd.exe
          with parameter: /C YourBatchFile.bat
         and start in: C:\SomePath\ (without quotes!) where C:\SomePath\YourBatchFile.bat exists.
        And then select the radio button for it to run regardless if you are logged in or not.
Exit errors may not be logged to the Event Log (they weren't when the .bat ran directly from Task Scheduler when I was logged in), so I find it best to manually log your own Event in case a error occurs and you want to send an email.
REM Logs an event which causes eventlog to send an email when it fails. Also, "/l application" needs to be lowercase.
eventcreate /t error /id 203 /l application /d "your logged description."
And then make a completely separate task with a trigger: On an event. Basic Selected. Log: Application. Source: EventCreate. Event ID: 203. And have the action on this task send an email (attaching any generated log files, if needed).
Hopefully helpful (took me 3 days to figure all this out...gar)

11.7.700.169 exe won't run

I'm trying to install 11.7.700.169 on 64-bit Windows 7. I've tried via Chrome, IE and Firefox. Each time I download and open the exe file, but when I click "run" nothing happens. I know in Chrome there is that Technote about it already being part of the browser and that it just needs to be enabled.... when I go to enable the plug in, it says I need to download a critical security update. When I follow the link to download, I have the same problem where the file won't run. It's not that I'm not waiting long enough because I've waited a long time to see if it will start to run and it just doesn't! Any thoughts?

Download the offline installers for IE and Firefox from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).
I don't know about Chrome, as I don't use that browser.

Running .bat files as administrator on win 7 and win 2k8 machines

I have .bat which will be copied onto Win 7 and Win 2k8 machines remotely. The batch file contains scripts to stop and restart Windows services, like,
net stop "Adobe Acrobat Update Service".
Now when I run this batch file, I get "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied."
I understand that I need to run this batch file as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.).
Does anyone have a solution for this?
P.S: 1) "run as" command inside the .bat file won't work, since you need to run the .bat file itself as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.).
2) I can create another batch file (say b.bat) containing the "run as" command and invoking the the original batch file (say a.bat), which has the command net stop "Adobe Acrobat Update Service". But still, this won't solve the issue, since you can run as,
the user, who has administrator privileges and not run as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.) itself.

Suhas,
Can you explain me why you want to do this?
Maby there are there some beter ways to achive your goal.
The reason why this doesn't work is UAC who strips the administrator tokens from your user account.
So it is not nesseary to use the default windows administrator account. Just a user with administrative priviliges will do you only need to run this command elevated.
There are several ways to run this command elevated:
Just right click on the batch file and choose the option run as administator.
Quite simple but a no go if you wanna have a fully automated solution
Use PsExec.exe from the pstools suite (avaible
here)
If you use the command like this:
PSEXEC -u domain\user -p password -h net stop spooler
PSEXEC -u domain\user -p password -h net start spooler
Or from a remote machine (pcX = remote management machine, pcY = machine where you want to restart the service.)
Execute this command on machine pcX:
PSEXEC \\pcY -u domain\user -p password -h net stop spooler
PSEXEC \\pcY -u domain\user -p password -h net start spooler
Create a sheduled task with the "highest privlilges" that executes your batch file.
etc ...

Run tricky bat files

I am trying to run a bat file which also runs a ksh script;The bat file is a bit tricky because it contains the following:
set PATH=%CYGWIN_PATH_AGL%\bin;%PATH%
%NUTC_PATH_AGL%\sh -c a.ksh %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
These lines call Nutcracker, which is a UNIX-simulator on WindowsXP;
When I double-click the bat file,it runs ok...but:when i try to call it with:
try
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] cmd =
{"D:/Documents and Settings/stud6/jbproject/untitled3/a.bat"};
Process p =runtime.exec(cmd);
catch(Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
...it does absolutely nothing!
Running an usual bat file also works fine;
Please help me!Thanks in advance!

...it does absolutely nothing!It does something, just not what you thought it would. It probably aborts with a "bad command or filename", since you need the command shell to run a batch file.
