[izpack-devel] I have a problem in executing a *.bat file

[Valentin Vlasceanu]

Hi,

And thanks for answering, but in the meanwhile I
resolved the problem.
I hat to put inside the bat file the following two
lines:

c:
cd c:\$INSTAL_PATH

After that the path is set correctly to the new
installed program and the bat file is lanched without
error.

Thanks again,
Vali
