I have a Java program and a batch file command to run the java program. It works well if I run it in its own directory, say C:\update.

But when I run it in other directories with command like " C:\update\myBat.bat".

It shows that "main" method is not found. Why and how I can make it run?

Thanks

You can try and put C:\update in the PATH.

My guess is that either the batch or the java program are looking for a file on the current directory, and the file is only present on the c:\update directory.

I interpret such a thing as a programming error, since it's a quite reasonable possibility that the batch file or java program is run from another directory.

You can change the current directory to C:\UPDATE, run the java program and then go back:

@echo off
echo @PROMPT $N:$_CD "$P$_> %TEMP%.\T1.BAT
%COMSPEC% /C %TEMP%.\T1.BAT > %TEMP%.\T2.BAT
del %TEMP%.\T1.BAT
C:
CD C:\UPDATE
call javaprog
for %%? in (call del) do %%? %TEMP%.\T2.BAT
