Win 7 64 *.bat fail can't even execute echo
Context : For my blind father, i wrote a *.bat file that would copy audiobook (mp3 files) from a CD to a memory card. Worked fine on his windows XP computer, when he switched to Windows 7 it worked OK after minors adjustments.
New Problem : When I got back home, I was informed that the *.bat no longer work.
After investigations I realise that even REM or ECHO failed to execute (inside the bat file).
I've search the internet for a solution but couldn't find anything :
In order to define my problem, I've made a simple bat with just an echo "hello world", ran it inside cmd got the following error :
Translated from french it's the well known error message : '■e' not an internal or external command ...Code:C:\Users\JP\Documents>test.bat C:\Users\JP\Documents>■e '■e' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.
Since echo work fine as a simple command (in CMD) it does not come from a path error.
Can you give me a clue about what is wrong on my father's computer ?
Secondary question :
With windows XP I used to play sound so my father would know what has to be done next. since sndrec32 was removed from windows 7 does anyone know of an other way to play sound ?
