Windows command script failing to recognize CD parameter for Java program

I'm trying to run a Java program from a script called converter.cmd but something is wrong.

Here is the content of converter.cmd:

cd %~dp0%
jre.1.6.0\bin\java -Xmx1024m -cp Converter.jar com.latcon.ExportConvert.Converter %1 %2

Here is what I get when I type converter at the above command prompt:

    P:\LatitudeConsulting\LatConConverter-1.8.2>converter

P:\LatitudeConsulting\LatConConverter-1.8.2>cd P:\LatitudeConsulting\LatConConverter-1.8.2\

Looks like no java.exe exists - only java.dll

Solution

  • Try jre.1.6.0\bin\java.exe - with the extension.
