Hi Jan, sorry, should have added this stuff but I was hoping the user permission issue might have been a known problem :)
OS is Win7, Jenkins is running as a standalone service (default service as set up by the Jenkins .msi installer - http://jenkins-ci.org/content/windows-installers-are-now-available) Snap shot of the batch files is a tad harder to show as we're working under NDA, but it generally looks like cd "C:\Project\Asset_1\Export" C:\Project\Repository\Builder.exe --a_lot_of_options_for_assets_1 cd "C:\Project\Asset_2\Export" C:\Project\Repository\Builder.exe --a_lot_of_options_for_assets_2 Console output is simply the content of the batch file followed by failure Started by user Lee Winder Building in workspace C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\02 - Daily Build\workspace [workspace] $ cmd /c call C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson9141842775998444888.bat C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\02 - Daily Build\workspace>cd "C:\Project\Asset_1\Export" C:\Project\Asset_1\Export>C:\Project\Repository\Builder.exe --a_lot_of_options_for_assets_1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\02 - Daily Build\workspace>cd "C:\Project\Asset_2\Export" C:\Project\Asset_2\Export>C:\Project\Repository\Builder.exe --a_lot_of_options_for_assets_2 Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure Sending e-mails to: ... Finished: FAILURE The build step simply looks like C:\Project\Build_Scripts\Build_All_Assets.bat If I drop the commands into the Build Step directly I get the following failure message C:\Project\Asset_2\Export>exit 255 Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure Sending e-mails to: ... Finished: FAILURE I'm currently investigating the Builder.exe tool for more information but this is a legacy project and we don't have the source code for all parts of the process which makes it quite difficult!
