Execute batch file(in turn executes exe) from powershell - powershell

I am trying to execute a install activeMq service from powershell, for which I am trying to call a batch file (which inturn calls the wrapper.exe) using:
& "C:\apache-activemq-5.6.0\bin\win64\InstallService.bat"
I am getting '"wrapper.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,or batch file'
But when I execute InstallService.bat from command prompt I am able to run the service
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Anandh

try this
& "cmd.exe /c C:\apache-activemq-5.6.0\bin\win64\InstallService.bat"

It sounds like you're using a relative path to call "wrapper.exe" within the batch script. If this is the case, replace it with the full path to the executable.

How to run Powershell file (having extension .ps1) using jmeter?

I want to execute .ps1 file in jmeter. I have pass the parameter as in image,but in output facing errors.The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Though the filename, directory name are correct.
Here is your problem:
Remove that quotation mark and everything should start working as expected
In general, you are making things overcomplicated.
Why do you need these cmd /c? Why just don't call powershell directly?
Normally powershell is in Windows PATH, there is no need to provide full path to it
So configure your OS Process Sampler as:
Command: powershell
Parameter: D:\Software\apache=jmeter-3.0\apache-jmeter-3.0\bin\TIP.ps1
See How to Run External Commands and Programs Locally and Remotely from JMeter article for more information on invoking 3rd-party processes from your JMeter test.
I know this is an old thread but since the response was not correct for me I found the solution to be this:
Using the OS Process Sampler you need to add as command powershell.exe and as variables exactly the following:
-executionpolicy
bypass
-file
fullpathToYourScript.ps1
This worked perfectly fine for me.

TeamCity running Powershell script, but failing to execute a batch file

I am currently in the process of implementing a deployment method using Teamcity, which runs a Powershell script on my Build Agent, which then configures my Production environment etc.
I have a problem with the Powershell script though, in that it can't seem to run the batch file from it.
The script runs perfectly if I run it manually, it only fails when run via TeamCity.
In the build log I am getting the error:
'myBatchFile.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
The batch file and the powershell script are in the same directory and the batch file is called as such:
cmd /c Deploy.bat
I have my TeamCity configuration set up to have the build step for this as:
Script: File
ScriptExecutionMode: Execute script with -File argument
Script Arguments: None
Additional CMD line params: None
I had originally not used the cmd to try to execute the batch file, but executing the batch file like .\Deploy.bat did not seem to work either.
Is there an additional thing I need to set up in order to get the batch file to run? The rest of the script runs fine, just the call to the batch that doesn't.
This is a bit of a wild stab as it's difficult to predict what's happening, but from the description it seems like the path is been altered in the script and it's also dynamic as TeamCity creates temp directories, but if you replace:
cmd /c Deploy.bat
with
cmd /c "$(Split-Path $myinvocation.MyCommand.Path)\Deploy.bat"
then I think this will be able to located the deploy script.
Let me know how it goes.

launch cmd run command isn't working

I am working on a script or batch file (or combo of the two) which imports an outlook prf file, then launches a new cmd.exe window runs a application specific program which when passed a server cluster name pulls in an outlook data file in the previously created outlook profile. So i have the vbs script that checks for the outlook profile if it doesn't exist it imports the prf. That's working fine, now the program i need to is called addiman.exe the server cluster name is gsiapp...the manual method is i launch a cmd windows and type "addiman gsiapp" i wish to automates this by calling it in a routine called :Filesite the below command has been unsuccessful, it launches a new cmd.exe window but doesn't run the command.
:ImportPRf
call cscript \\gsf1\Apps\Scripts\public\deployprf.vbs
GOTO :FileSite
:FileSite
start cmd.exe /c "c:\program files\interwoven\worksite\addiman.exe" GSIAPP
GOTO :EXIT
:Exit
Exit
start cmd.exe /c "c:\program files\interwoven\worksite\addiman.exe GSIAPP"
try this, because cmd.exe interprets the part between "" as comand and ignores the GSIAPP statement
wild guess. Try adding another call before the "start" - like this
:FileSite
call start cmd.exe /c "c:\program files\interwoven\worksite\addiman.exe" GSIAPP
problem solved, the full path isn't needed. just had to putt "addiman GSIAPP". Thanks everyone who provided suggestions.

Powershell script to run multiple batch files in order

Real n00b to powershell. I was wondering if the community could help me build a pretty simple script.
Really, I can achieve everything I need in windows batch files - but these only complete one task at a time. I want a master script (a powershell script) to call each individual batch process in turn. That is, I want to run Batch_1 and then run Batch_2 only when a task from a program that Batch_1 calls has finished.
Is this possible? Is it a case of using some form of IF THEN ELSE type scenario or is there a way to make powershell wait for some event to happen?
Thanks!

You can use the FOR command, from regular windows shell (cmd.exe) to solve this problem. The following command executes every cmd file in current directory:
FOR %f IN (*.cmd) DO %f
The following command executes every file, in order, as returned by inner ´DIR´ command:
FOR /F %f IN ('DIR /b /oen *.cmd *.bat') DO %f
Normally calling out from a batch file to a console program is synchronous. A PowerShell script for this is trivial:
master-script.ps1 contents:
---------------------------
c:\batch1.bat
c:\batch2.bat
Now if the batch file is calling a Windows subsystem exe (non a console EXE) then this gets trickier because those execute async. If that's the case, update your question to indicate that.

Problem executing multiple powershell scripts from a batch file

I have a .bat that calls 3 PowerShell scripts
Basically the bat file looks like this
PScript1
Pscript2
Pscript3
After the Pscript1 the batch file does not execute Pscript2 or Pscript3, it stops and does not seem to return control to the batch file. Does anyone know what might cause this problem ?
In a batch file you would typically use && or || depending on whether or not you wanted the subsequent commands to run based on the success of previous commands e.g.:
powershell.exe .\PScript1.ps1 && powershell.exe .\PScript2.ps1
This invocation would execute the following command only if the preceeding command succeeded. You also need to specify powershell.exe as the EXE. The default action for a .ps1 is to open the file for editing.
