Try to check if your Command Compiler is in windows environment path - Open Contol Panel - System - On Advanced tab, click environment Variables - In system variables, check if your c:\Borland\Bcc55 or c:\Borland\Bcc55\bin it's include in the path parameter, if not, edit and add the path. Remember to check your command compiler wheter in c:\Borland\Bcc55 or c:\borland\Bcc55\Bin. Hope this Help

Answer 3

You need to understand system variables e.g. %USERNAME% etc. Open Command prompt window type SET and press Enter. All existing values will be listed.These values are being used by your bat file.



Change value of %ID% in your bat file to indicate installation path.



Hope it works.
