Easier to launch using bat files?

Isn't it really easy to launch Java using a bat file? There seems to be alot of discussion regarding exe files etc. but it seem to me that it works well using a bat file. That way you can use the -cp to set the classpath too if needed.
Would it be possible to write code that checks the JVM and prompts the user to download the version required? Or possible to write a bat to launch a Java file, or even an applet to do the same thing.
I need to distribute an application at work, but the install can't be any harder than a couple of clicks!
Thanks,

On the subject of jar files; I am having trouble
running my app through a jar file because are probs
with the manifest file. I know that I have to edit my
manifest file to name, I believe, the method of my
main class.
howover , I did edit this file ( checked via textpad)
and it had the two entries - one the default spiel
about version and
2) the line Main-Class: my methodyou have to enter the class name (without fileextension), not a method name.
Main-Class: MyOwnClass

Running bat-files from Java

Hello,
I have been trying to launch a bat-file from my Java code, running under windows, but with no success.
Here is my simple code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {
"C:\\temp\\test.bat"
});This does nothing at all and generates no exception. Any suggestions?

It seems java has a real problem with this... if you
want to run another java program, for instance, you
cannot do that either with String cmd="cmd.exe /C
java myProgram"
I need to pass parameters from one program into the
program I'm going to open using java, that is why I
need to call it from my first program. It can open
executables and shortcuts, but has a real big problem
doing things with the command line.No it doesn't have a problem with it. You just must be doing something wrong. By the way, since "java(.exe)" is already an executable, there's little value in wrapping that by the "cmd.exe" shell (unless you want to use the command shell for some reason such as passing the redirector (>) symbols to it to let it redirect stdout / stderr to a file)

Convert .bat file to .msi

Hi everyone!
Please help....
The case is that I first have to run a batch file (which takes about 2
minutes, because it removes an application) and then AFTER it has run, I
need to run an application packet. I know that it should be possible to
just write the batch script into the "launch before" script of the app.
packet. But it doesnt work. So therefore I will try to convert the .bat
file into a .msi packet. In that way I can use the "depend on another
app.packet"-function.
So please does anyone know how to convert from .bat to .msi?
Or maybe another solution?
THANKS!!!

Yes I´m deleting directories. Actually it´s uninstalling one anti virus,
so it can install another vendors anti virus.
But I solved the problem. I put an # before launching the .bat file in
the login script.
And after that I used Zenworks to distribute the app. packet.
Since the .bat file takes about 2 minutes to run I added a copy of a
simply file from the
server to the computers harddrive. Then I use a "if exist....else goto
exit" script. In that
way it won´t run the .bat file on every login.
But I still don´t understand why the "launch before" can´t read the .bat
file script.
But anyway....thanks for your reply....this case is solved.

Launch Java app through a bat file

Hi,
Because I have to launch my Java App through a batch file, I don't know if I can create a new java class to execute this bat file to launch my Java App? Is that gonna work?
Henry.

Yes I created a batch file and tested. If I execute my batch file, the java app will be lauched as expected.
Here is my java class that execute my batch file
import java.io.*;
public class LaunchTest {
public static void main(String args[])
String cmd[] = new String[3];
try
String osName = System.getProperty("os.name" );
//System will detect current operating system
if( osName.equals( "Windows NT" ) || osName.equals( "Windows 2000" ) )
cmd[0] = "cmd.exe" ;
cmd[1] = "/C";
cmd[2] = "c:\\Run.bat"; //Run.bat will set classpath and launch my java app
else if( osName.equals( "Windows 95" ) || osName.equals( "Windows 98" ) )
cmd[0] = "command.exe" ;
cmd[1] = "/C";
cmd[2] = "c:\\Run.bat";//Run.bat will set classpath and launch my java app
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
//running the commands
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
// any error message?
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
// any error???
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
catch (Throwable t)
t.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("error...");
And here is my batch file
@echo off
set path=e:\jbuilder4\jdk1.3\bin
set classpath=E:\JBuilder4\jdom-b7\jdom-b7\build\jdom.jar;E:\JBuilder4\jdom-b7\jdom-b7\lib\xerces.jar;.
d:
cd AutoTest\classes
java FirmwareTestPack.FirmwareMainClass
exit
When I run the java class above, Dos prompt popped up for a second then disappeared. It did not launch my Firmware pplication.
Thank you.

Can only launch sqlDev 3.0 via .bat file

I just downloaded 3.0 and extracted to a new folder. (winXP) The older version worked fine. Whenever I launch sqldeveloper.exe, I get " UNable to create an instance of the Java Virtual Machine"
However, I am able to successfully launch when executing the sqldeveloper.bat file. AM I missing a configuration step?

Make sure you're pointing to a 1.6 JDK in \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf or delete the entry to get prompted to browse for it on next startup:
SetJavaHome C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jdk1.6.0_16Hope that helps,

Firefox sees that (at least local or network dive located) .bat files are text and renders them as such. To download it as a .bat file, use save page as, (or Control-S) change "text file" to "all files" and type .bat onto the end of the filename, then hit save. Not ideal I know, but better than nothing.

Starting CS4 from bat file

I can successfully start Photoshop from a .bat file (.bat file has the line "START Photoshop") when I'm logged onto my Vista user account. But when I switch to the guest account and the bat file continues to run in my normal user session, it is unable to launch Photoshop. A Microsoft Windows error box reports: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working". I'm able to start Bridge or notepad with this method, that is, with the bat file running in my normal account while logged in to the guest account. Seems you have to be logged on directly for PS to launch. Any experience with this?

Need to run powershell script in a bat file

I have a ps1 file with the following:

%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command import-module ActiveDirectory "%PowerShellScriptPath%";
But while it launches powershell with the AD module, It apparently cannot read the ps1 file.
I get:

Still no luck.
I need to be able to run this as a scheduled task.
Karon W

Apparently I don't know where to put everything.
I have a single line:
%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-module ActiveDirectory; -Command {Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memorial,ou=Domain Users and Groups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Description,EmailAddress|Select-Object
-Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress|Export-Csv "\\svr-resource2\home2$\information services\IS STAFF\Documentation\AD Info\smcusers.csv"}
This is the response:
H:\>C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-mod
ule ActiveDirectory; -Command {Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memo
rial,ou=Domain Users and Groups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Descripti
on,EmailAddress | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,Email
Address | Export-Csv "\\svr-resource2\home2$\information services\IS STAFF\Docu
mentation\AD Info\smcusers.csv"}
'Select-Object' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I modified to 2 lines:
%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-module ActiveDirectory;
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memorial,ou=Domain Users and Groups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Description,EmailAddress|Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress|Export-Csv "\\svr-resource2\home2$\information
services\IS STAFF\Documentation\AD Info\smcusers.csv"
This is the response:
H:\>C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-mod
ule ActiveDirectory;
PS H:\> exit ************I had to type*****************
H:\>Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memorial,ou=Domain Users and Gr
oups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Description,EmailAddress | Select-O
bject -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress | Export-Csv "\\sv
r-resource2\home2$\information services\IS STAFF\Documentation\AD Info\smcusers.
csv"
'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
If I paste the command in before I type exit, it works.
If I paste:
%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-module ActiveDirectory;
I am put in the ad powereshell
Then I paste:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memorial,ou=Domain Users and Groups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Description,EmailAddress|Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress|Export-Csv "\\svr-resource2\home2$\information
services\IS STAFF\Documentation\AD Info\smcusers.csv"
and I get the expected output.
What do I need to have in the bat file so the 2nd line of the script will run? and where does it go?

Bat file shortcut can't be pinned to taskbar

After fighting a running battle with the Truvero virus* I've finally give up. I have notice that it append "Search.net"
to all my browser shortcuts but it leaves the exe file alone, so I dont get that Bing search Engine and Truvero on start up.
So I created a bat file that runs the chrome.exe file and saved it to the desktop. It works great but when i try to pin it to the
taskbar I can't. Same for a shortcut to the bat file.
Why can't I do this? Is there a script that Win 7 recognizes that will pin to the taskbar?
* I know Truvero is not really a virus, but it's just as hard to get rid of.
Thanks,
P3aul

Hi,
How is the current situation? I suggest you use your anti-virus to scan the whole computer.
Is Truvero a file or something else?
According to your description, it seems that your Internet Explorer can't work fine.
If I am right, please let me know what's the symptoms when you attempt to launch Internet Explorer.
If your computer works fine before, the easier way to resolve the issue is to use system restore to roll back to a previous time when everything worked fine.

.bat file startup

I have used a setup wizard that someone has suggested after doing a search through the forum. Now my problem is I want to automatically set up the path on various machines!! These are a mixture of XP 98 and I don't always know but I can assume they will be running some version of Windows. I have created a .bat file but I have 2 problems.
1) Can the path be set up like this on an XP machine?
2) If they install a different version of the JRE then how can I specify the exact directory for the path if I don't know what it is on their machine??
My .bat file is
@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.3.0_02\bin;
SET WFDB=.
Is there a way to get around this

Hi,
Try below thing:
"If your UAC on Windows 2008 is enabled (if you didn't switch it off) you have to start sapehpi using a security elevated cmd.exe:
Start -> execute -> cmd.exe --> press CTRLSHIFTENTER and confirm the dialog box.
This is due to the new security model in Windows 2008.
You can switch to ""Windows 2003 mode"" by executing ""msconfig"", scrolling down and launching ""disable UAC"" and reboot."
Please paste the result here.
Thanks

Can not run business rule with bat file

Hi all,
I've problem with using *.bat file to run business rule. My Essbase version is 11.1.1.3 and the syntax within
*.bat is simple, but I always got the Usage message and can not execute the rule.
The error result as blow(I already execute the syntax in command panel directly):
C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin>CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
Usage: CmdLineLauncher [-p:<passwordFile>] -Sservername -Uusername [-rBusiness R
ule Name | -sSequence Name] [-fRun Time Prompts file] [-validate]
My *.bat file content as below:
cd c:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin
call CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P1111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
Is there something wrong? If anyone know about this problem, please help,thanks!!

Hi,
Here is a brief overview on how to use the command line launcher.
You can create a file and put the following information into it filling in the servername,app name and db name
ExecDB::"Planning/servername/appname/dbname"
Save it as .xml file (don’t think it has to be an xml, could be .txt), so something like connect.xml
Then when you run your command line do exactly like before Cmdlnlauncher -Sservername -Uusername -p:password.txt -rrule -fconnect.xml
If you have variables in your rule you can
In EAS right click over the rule and select "Automate Launch Variables", fill in the details and then save it is as an xml.
You just need to reference the xml in the batch script as described above using the -f parameter, for sequences remove -rrule and use –sSequence
update password.txt to the name of your password file.
Cheers

Running .bat files

Hello,
I recently uninstalled my Google Chrome to then reinstall it. Ever since, I have .bat files that used to open in Windows Explorer that now open new tabs in Google Chrome. How do I stop that from happening? I want the .bat files to open in Windows Explorer
just like before. I already tried adding the batfile zip folder (that you guys created) in the registry and no change.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Could you please tell us the function of these .bat files? What application are these .bat files will launch? I suggest you check the default "open method" of these applications.
Click Control Panel>Default Program, then set your default programs.
