Answer 1 / 1

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!

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.

Batch files do not require a restart. They are loaded at runtime, not at bootup!
