Start from CMD?

Hello,

 

I am trying to start vATIS from the command line, and am getting an error. Here's my start script:

 

start C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\vATIS\vATIS.exe

 

And here is the error it throws:

It should be noted that it does work as expected when started from the Menu/Explorer. Is there an argument I should be p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ing through?

You probably need to set the working directory to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\vATIS\vATIS.exe before starting the app. (Just a guess, really ... Justin will correct me if my guess is wrong.)

[Justin Shannon]

Yes, Ross is correct. If you try to launch vATIS outside its working directory, then it can't find the components it needs during launch.

 

Instead, use something like this:

 

cd C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\vATIS && vATIS.exe

Awesome, thank you Ross and Justin!
