Solved Batch Files not working when trying to open programs

[SinRival]

I was trying to create a batch file to open up two programs which I mostly always start and use when I login and so I attempted to create the batch file following this: Launch Multiple Programs From A Single Shortcut Using A Batch File

While I managed to do all the actual "coding" part of it

When I execute it I get a error message (screenshot in attachments of both errors)

I'm not quite sure why it has those strange letters and I'm just confused in general about why it isn't working.

The two programs are Google Chrome and League of Legends.

Once I had gotten the batch file to work I was going to schedule it to run during start-up so as to save some time in having to wait until I can open it and such.

Can anyone help?

Please post the batch file for us to peruse.

It might help if you'd Copy the text in the .bat file and post here. Or Attach the .bat file.

Oh yeah sorry. Here you go

I fixed my problem instead of what I used in the batch file I used this tutorial:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/77891-batch-files-start-multiple-programs-once.html

And did this:

@echo off

rem League of Legends
cd "C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\"
start lol.launcher.exe
rem Chrome
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"
start chrome.exe
exit

Worked exactly.

@echo off
 
start [COLOR=red]“[/COLOR]Chrome[COLOR=red]”[/COLOR] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
start [COLOR=red]“[/COLOR]League of Legends[COLOR=red]”[/COLOR] "C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\lol.launcher.exe"

SinRival, the problem with your above Text.bat is that between 'Chrome' and 'League of Legends' you've somehow managed to type “ ['LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK','0x201c'] and ” ['RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK','0x201d'] instead of " ['QUOTATION MARK','0x22'] (normal double quotes).

Eliminating and swapping out the incorrect quotes around the two application names with normal double quotes leaves you with a perfectly working batch file.


PS: Took me for ages to figure out the problem with this one

I'm not surprised.  I looked at the bat file after reading this post and the quotes sure looked normal.  Nice pick up.  :)
