Without seeing the code you used to launch the batch file, it's impossible to tell you what you did wrong. Also, where is the batch file located? Is it in the same folder as the .EXE that's trying to launch it?

Running a batch file from a program is a strange idea and pretty much useless: there are many other way to integrate software or make codes pluggable.

So, I never tried it. But few seconds ago I tried, out of curiosity:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mybatch.bat");

Note, I didn't even run "CMD.EXE" with the batch file as a parameter, I tried to start batch file itself (I thought this could be a problem). It worked immediately. Needless to say, I had my executable and the batch file in same directory (see Dave's comment). Did you?
