Not able to read the error log - powershell

Question

My below script will genrate Error log when we have some error in the ZIP file. Zip file should cosnsist of three file if any one is missing the run.bat throw an Error.log file.
I intentionaly made a missing file in ZIP and the script should generat an error.log, but the script is throwing that the Error.log file is blank.
When I tried with break point the script is workking properly and getting mail as there is an error, if I disbale the break point and run it will not send mail. What is wrong in the script. Thank you for your support.
$errorlog = "D:\EmailConnector-Disc Optimus\logs\error.log"
$emailconnecter_log = "D:\EmailConnector-Disc Optimus\logs\connector.log"
#1 print "Running email bat file...... \n";
Write-Host "Running email bat file...... \n"
$prog="cmd.exe"
$params=#('/C','"D:\EmailConnector-Disc Optimus\run.bat"','connector.log')
