WINE err:"wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string"

So as the tittle states WINE is throiwng this error:
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
As for what might have caused it? probably the last system update which was performed a few days ago, my old prefix works fine but I have a habit of creating new prefixes for troublesome applications, or applications I am unsure of whether they will cause trouble or not.
Hence I created a new prefix using:
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX=~/.problematic
winecfg
As for how wine is run, it's run as a normal, unprivileged, user.
Oh and I also tried generating yet another prefix like this:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.problematic-new winetricks steam
Executing w_do_call steam
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
Didn't work either.
I'm at loss, any suggestion on how to fix it?

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/testprefix notepad.exe

So obviously I need to correct the command
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/testprefix wine notepad.exe
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/shiina/testprefix'

wine: configuration in '/home/shiina/testprefix' has been updated.
Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncursesw.so.5).
why is ncurses a dependency anyway? besides, wicd-curses works so this shouldn't be the case.
Anyway, trying winetricks in the same prefix
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/testprefix winetricks steam
Executing w_do_call steam
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
Anyway, I expected notepad to work since it resides in %WINDOWS% not %ProgramFiles%
Is there any registry key I can set for this? all my google searching says this can cause with a mismatch of wine versions but why would that happen?
Either way checking wine --version outputs wine-1.7.20 which is the same as it was pre-update (when it still worked).

Stuck On Runtime.exec() with cmd.exe

I've done my best to look through the forums and implement what's been said but I'm getting a problem where my whole Java program freezes when the exec() is executed. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing or have misunderstood ?
        try
            Process runSmodels = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe lparse predict.pl | smodels 0");
            String smodelsOutput = new String();
            BufferedReader smodelsReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(runSmodels.getInputStream()));
            String outputLine = smodelsReader.readLine();
            while(outputLine != null)
                smodelsOutput += outputLine;
                outputLine = smodelsReader.readLine();
            smodelsReader.close();
            System.out.println(smodelsOutput);
        catch(IOException exc)
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "Could not access Smodels.", "System Call Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        }

Redirecting output from 'cmd.exe /c'

I am using Powershell 2009 on a WIN-Server 2008 R2
I have seen several suggestions on how to "redirect" the output generated by a 'cmd.exe /c', but none of the suggested solutions were successful.
I have a simple cmd
cmd.exe /c my_program.cmd $file.basename
This process creates a lot of screen output and this command is in a loop of all files in a directory.
I want to capture the output to a file "$lgfile"
I have used
{content}
>> $lgfile
{content}
Out-file -filepath $lgfile [no output]
{content}
`$lgfile 2`>>`&1 [error '&" is reserved for future use]
I would be grateful for any suggestions
Also, the reason I am using "cmd.exe /c" is because that is the only method i have been able to use successfully (my_program.cmd is calling an ORACLE compiler! and all other methods to execute this compiler did not work except as a cmd-file)

I usually just pipe to Set-Content:
cmd.exe /c my_program.cmd $file.basename | Set-Content $lgfile
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

Stop weblogic services using StartStopServices.xml parameter leaves cmd.exe

When using the "Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop BI services" function it calls the StartStopServices.cmd file. This file then references the StartStopServices.xml file using the following statement;
<target name="stop_all" depends="set.is.stop.all, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials">
     </target>
     <target name="set.is.stop.all">
     <property name="is.stop.all" value="true"/>
     </target
The problem that I'm having is that when the weblogic services are successfully stopped, 2 cmd.exe windows are left open on the server. I've created a batch file to call the StartStopServices.cmd and added parameters such as
Sleep.exe 30
c:\windows\system32\TASKKILL.exe /F /IM cmd.exe /T
Theoretically this should pause for a few, and then close the open cmd windows. However whenever the StartStopServices.cmd is called it closes the original command window before any statements are executed. So essentially I don't get to the taskkill or sleep parameters. I'm assuming that I need to edit the XML file somewhere to make it so it doesn't stop_all and close, but simply stops all and allows my added entries in the cmd windows to execute so ALL cmd windows are closed.
I'm scheduling a backup using RMAN in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and need to stop the weblogic processes in order to complete this backup function. However I need to end these cmd windows otherwise over the course of time they will be cascaded everywhere. Has anybody accomplished this?

Hope still you need a solution for your question.
Follow these steps to achive as expected file using StartStopServices.xml, do let me know for any questions.
File loc: MW_HOME\instances\instance3\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication
1) I've added a new target attribute( as 'veera' to existing code) at the end of the tag
<target name="stop_all" depends="determine.language, set.is.stop.all,find.or.get.credentials, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials, veera">
</target>
2) Added new code as show below
<target name="veera" if="wls.domain.exists" depends="wls.check.exists" description="Stop WLS">
<echo message="Srini..." />
<exec spawn="true" executable="cmd.exe" osfamily="windows" dir="${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin">
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="taskkill /f /IM cmd.exe" />
</exec>
</target>
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful
Cheers,

JVM can't find cmd.exe

hello
i try to create a java stored procedure that allows to execute shell commands such as move or copy of files.
my java class looks like:
import java.io.*;
public class Host {
public static void executeCommand(String command) {
try {
String[] finalCommand;
if (isWindows()) {
finalCommand = new String[4];
finalCommand[0] = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe";
//finalCommand[0] = "cmd.exe";
finalCommand[1] = "/y";
finalCommand[2] = "/c";
finalCommand[3] = command;
else {
finalCommand = new String[3];
finalCommand[0] = "/bin/sh";
finalCommand[1] = "-c";
finalCommand[2] = command;
final Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(finalCommand);
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
BufferedReader br_in = null;
try {
br_in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
String buff = null;
while ((buff = br_in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("Process out :" + buff);
try {Thread.sleep(100); } catch(Exception e) {}
br_in.close();
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Exception caught printing process output.");
ioe.printStackTrace();
finally {
try {
br_in.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {}
}).start();
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
BufferedReader br_err = null;
try {
br_err = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getErrorStream()));
String buff = null;
while ((buff = br_err.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("Process err :" + buff);
try {Thread.sleep(100); } catch(Exception e) {}
br_err.close();
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Exception caught printing process error.");
ioe.printStackTrace();
finally {
try {
br_err.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {}
}).start();
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
public static boolean isWindows() {
if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") != -1)
return true;
else
return false;
then i wrote a wrapper procedure like that:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Host_Command (p_command IN VARCHAR2)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'Host.executeCommand (java.lang.String)';
After that i granted the following permissions:
EXEC Dbms_Java.Grant_Permission('CYTASTAR09', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC Dbms_Java.Grant_Permission('CYTASTAR09', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC Dbms_Java.Grant_Permission('CYTASTAR09', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('CYTASTAR09', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute' );
everything compiles fine and i'm able to use the java part as standalone application. but when i try to use it from oracle, like this:
CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(1000000);
BEGIN
Host_Command (p_command => 'move C:\test.gif C:\test2.gif');
END;
I always get the following error message:
can't exec: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe doesn't exist
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?
regards mirko

Question about cmd.exe /k

I can write the code below to start cmd.exe to stay and not end:
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /K ver"); // for example.
InputStream in=p.getInputStream();
InputStream err=p.getErrorStream();Now how do I send another command to this process p and capture its output?
OutputStream o=p.getOutputStream();Can someone help? I just want to run one copy of cmd.exe.

google for the many discussions about this.

Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.

Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.
Regards,
S. P. Singh

Windows 32 cmd exe. on startup

On start up, I get a window that says C: Windows 32 Command exe. that flashes just for a second. I've checked other forums, and they said to go to my start up menu in the Task Manager and uncheck it if it's there. I found it in the Google Chrome folder and unchecked Google Chrome. Didn't do anything.
Every forum I've seen so far just talks about Windows XP or Windows 7. I'm on 8.1.
I've run a virus scan with Avast and didn't find anything, I've also run System Mechanic. Also nothing. All my updates are up to date as far as I can tell.
It's not terribly annoying, but it just started up out of the blue and if I can get rid of it, I'd like to.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Boo_Radley,
I have read your post on how a Windows 32 cmd.exe prompt appears when you first boot up your desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Does this window appear if you boot your computer into Safe Mode? Is this a recent or a reoccurring issue? What does the full error message state as it appears on the screen?
In the meantime, I recommend following any missed steps in this document on Resolving and Preventing Viruses on Your Computer (Windows 8). This should help catch and prevent any additional malware threats contributing to the error message when Windows is loaded.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Cmd.exe window does not open in apache jserv

cmd.exe window does not open in apache jserv
I need to call a dos program from a servlet running on apache jserv1.1.
I develop with Jdeveloper wich has got a built in webserver to debug servlets.
With Jdeveloper it works fine (a dos windows opens), but when I deploy it to apache it doesn't work. The process is started, but no dos window opens. Should I change settings of jserv, is this a bug, does anyone know?
The (beta) code looks like this
String cmd = "c:\\temp\\cmd.exe /c \"start /min /wait /b dosprogram \"";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
BufferedReader lsOut = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader lsErr = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (p.getErrorStream()));
try {
p.waitFor();
int completionStatus = p.exitValue();
out.println( "<br>Exit Status: " + completionStatus );
catch( InterruptedException ex ) {
out.println( "Executable program (" + cmd + ") was interrupted." );
while(( line=lsOut.readLine()) != null) {
out.println("<br>lsout====>");
out.println(line);
while ((line2 = lsErr.readLine()) != null){
out.println("<br>Errout====>");
out.println(line2);
catch(SecurityException e) {
out.println("Security Error: " + e);
catch(IOException e) {
out.println("IO Error: " + e);
catch (Exception e) {
out.println("ls error " +e);
null

Is apache running as a service?

Boot Camp 2.1 HELP? cmd.exe?

I have been trying to update my Boot Camp to 2.1, and I have experienced the issue in the following support article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1845
The article suggest that I do the following.
In Windows, start a command prompt (cmd.exe, sometimes referred to as a command shell). Use Administrative rights if running Windows Vista.
Type one the following command lines in the command shell:
For Windows XP, type: msiexec /update <path to the .msp file>\BCUpdateXP.msp
Can someone give me a dummies guide to how this can be done?
How do I launch "cmd.exe"?
What is <path to the .msp file>?
Thank you!

For anyone interested in the answer to this issue, I have summarized a quick fix.
1)
“Cmd.exe” can be accessed via the “Start” menu and “Accessories” in Windows XP.
2)
To get the “path to file”, simply drag the icon of the update into cmd.exe, and the path will be shown in its proper command sequence.

How to end a process from cmd.exe?

I need to open and close a word file(Test.doc) from my java program. I managed to open the file using cmd shell, but I don't know how to close the opened file. Does anybody have a suggestion? Below is my code. Thanks.
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process p = null;
    try {
    p = r.exec("cmd.exe /c start Test.doc");
    catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Error opening the file.");
    }

Try something like this:
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
String command = "\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\winword\"";
String file = "\"c:\\Test.doc\"";
try {
    p = r.exec(command + " " + file);    //to open the file in MS Office Word
    Thread.sleep(30000);    //keep it open for 30secs
    p.destroy();    //close the process and hence the file
}catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error opening the file.");
