I am very new to this so a simplified explanation would be appreciated.
I am trying to make a batch file that executes the following command in the command prompt:
C:\Users\delta\dc2.exe -configure="C:\Users\delta\Switch.xml"
So far i have tried putting the follwing in a .bat but i have had no luck:
START cmd.exe /k "C:\Users\delta\dc2.exe -configure="C:\Users\delta\Switch.xml""
I simply get the command prompt popping up for a fraction of a second and then it disappears. (Can't read what it says)
Any ideas on where i am going wrong?

You probably don't need to be using the START command. The reason I typically find the START command may be quite useful is for running a program in the background, which may not be the desired action if you're trying to see results. Just make a new text file that says:
Make sure that the filename ends with ".bat", e.g. "rundc2.bat"
Then, from the command line, run: "rundc2"
(The ".bat" is optional, when you're running the program.)
