Command Prompt & Batch Files

Hello all. I need to set up a batch file to work w/ the Visual Studio.NET
2003 command prompt. However, when I run the batch file it uses the
standard command prompt. Is there a way to differentiate batch files
between the two prompts? Also, where might I find information on the
differences between the 2 prompts?

Thanks,
Herb

Add the following as the first line in your batch file.

@Call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common\Too ls\VCVars.bat"

(watch for line wrap)

The VS command prompt still uses cmd.exe, it just sets some ENV variables
from the above batch file.

Jim,
Thanks for the tip. That seemed to work. I just had to adjust the path to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\To ols\vsvars32.ba t"

I need to install the Office XP PIA files on a server, and the Microsoft instructions says it needs the .Net Command Prompt to run them. I do not have Visual Studio installed on the server, nor do I want to. Is there a way around this or a way to just install the Command Prompt tool on the server?

I found this really cool resource here that would save me a lot of typing by being able to sense which directory I'm in...

Okay, here's the bonehead question of the day: Is there some syntax or command line switch that I can use to call a Public Sub from a command line? If so, what is the syntax? The purpose: if I can start the Sub from a command line prompt, then I can make the command a batch file. If I can make the command a batch file, I can schedule it. If the sub were, say, basMyProcedureModule.MySubName, could I invoke it

Hi, I am having trouble figureing out the best way to open a command prompt then write lines to it in VB.NET. Currently I have this code, but it execute's too fast I think because Dim psi As Object = New ProcessStartInfo psi.FileName = "cmd.exe" System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi) SendKeys.Send("abcdefg" & "{enter}") SendKeys.Send("12345678" & "{enter}")

Currently (manually), I 1) open a Windows SDK Command Prompt and 2) navigate to a particular folder. Then I 3) type a command and press enter. The command is irrelevant (WCF-related) but here it is FYI: svcutil http://localhost/COWFeedyardService/Services/Pen.svc /out:Pen.vb /config:App.config /language:VB All works fine, but I need to do this over a hundred times changing "Pen" to the names of the other classes and re-executing.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
