Hey, Is it possible to add switches to a batch file?
For example "name.bat /install" & "name.bat /uninstall"

You pass parameters on the command line to a batch file, and there is no reason you can not call them "switches" that you check for. You just have to check the parameters for the whole "switch" just like you would check for any parameter passed.

If you add a "switch" to a batch file, then the "switch" will become the standard replaceable parameter of the batch, namely %1, %2, etc.
