strange…

When I run simple commands like xcopy, copy, mkdir etc… using

dos mkdir c:\blahblah

or

dos xcopy c:\blahblah c:\blahblah2 /s /y /i

it works

but when I try

waithidden mkdir c:\blahblah

actions fail.

any suggestions?

If using waithidden you want to spawn a cmd.exe. Also double quote values that may have spaces.

examples:

waithidden cmd.exe /C mkdir c:\blahblah

waithidden cmd.exe /C xcopy c:\blahblah c:\blahblah2 /s /y /i

waithidden cmd.exe /C mkdir “c:\My Folder”
