How to mention C:\Program Files in batchfile

Question

I need to invoke an exe file in C:\\Program Files directory from a batch file.How can we mention the directory name \"Program Files\" in batch file.I am getting error like C:\\P

Answer 1

Surround the script call with "", generally it's good practices to do so with filepath.

"C:\Program Files"

Although for this particular name you probably should use environment variable like this :

"%ProgramFiles%\batch.cmd"

or for 32 bits program on 64 bit windows :

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\batch.cmd"
