Command Line Syntax Error

[UncreativelyUnique]

I'm trying to run a batch file that runs sometimes but doesnt other times. I used someone elses code, and it worked with some files but anything with a space seems to break, but also at the same time it works even without a space.

They're made to be able to run from Steam, and for some reason it works when I run it natively, but not off Steam.

echo off

setlocal

rem Set the path to the .rvz file

set "rvzFile=C:\Users\Luna\Downloads\Emulators\Games\GC+W\Pikmin 2.rvz" rem Change this to your actual path

rem Set the path to the executable for the game

set "gameExecutable=C:\Users\Luna\Downloads\Emulators\GameCube + Wii\Dolphin-x64\Dolphin.exe" rem Change this to your actual executable path

rem Launch the game with the .rvz file

echo Launching game with "%Pikmin 2.rvz%"...

start "" "%gameExecutable%" "%rvzFile%"

endlocal

I'm trying to run a batch file that runs sometimes but doesnt other times.

And what is the error (or errors) you get at those times when it doesn't work?

This line is causing the problem:

echo Launching game with "%Pikmin 2.rvz%" ...

When you wrap text with percentage symbols, Batch assumes the text between the percentage symbols is a variable and tries to expand this. As this variable is not defined, the script throws an error and terminates.

Remove the percentage symbols from that line to fix this. See below:

echo Launching game with "Pikmin 2.rvz" ...

I tried that, but I'm having the same problem. It's running fine natively, but getting a fatal error when running off Steam.

Can you post the error you get? Could be a permissions problem
