executing batch file from different folder not working ?

Hello.

file contents neuk.bat:
program.exe

console commands entered:
cd c:\bla\bla
c:\bla\bla\neuk.bat

"can't execute program.exe" it says.

This seems abnormal from ms-dos 6.22 days ?

The batch file is supposed to execute the program.exe no matter from what
folder the batch file is invoked ?

Seems to be a bug ????

Or is this a new "security feature" ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Hi, Skybuck.

Are you running Vista? Are you THE Administrator? Does Vista know this?

Open an Administrator:Command Prompt. (Right-click cmd.exe, then Run as
Administrator.) Run your batch file in this window.

Yes, this is a new security feature. Vista doesn't like to run .exe files
without proof that the Administrator is in control.
