1. The path is whatever the path variable is, the dp0 is the directory in which the bat file resides. Do a search for % dp0.

2. Those are parameters passed to ARUN. ARUN is expecting those parameters to complete its operations.

Have fun!

hi
first i use windows 10-64bit.
i installed a program. for patch of it i must run a .bat file as instalbat.bat which contains below commands:

@set PATH=%PATH%;%~dp0
arun.exe -patch C:\Mento\ -o License_D.txt



i run this in cmd(command prompt) as administrator. but the below error is shown:
The system cannot find the path specified.
Failed to load package info...


i lose 3 days. i tried many things and searched many in internet. but i couldn't solve the problem.
can guide me?
thanks

You need to set the path variable. What is the path? You must set it.

hi ac3mark
i read yesterday about the problem and reached approximately that problem is related to path variable and system path. but i don't know anything about it.is it different from the path that cmd is shown?
from my reading in yesterday, i think the change must be done in ( in win 10) system>environment variable> in path variable, but i don't know in below or up windows .
also i don't know what thing i must add and if i do false if my pc work again or not?
thenks very much for your answer

No. If the path variable has not been set by the code, then YOU must set it as in:
Set path=c:\somefolder\anotherfolder

Then the path will then be set.
