Hey guys, Thanks for the responses and tips. I have put the CALL statement into the script. Before, I was opening the file before by double clicking on it (as Andy guessed). By running it from the command line it looks to be running just fine - no errors!
Now to actually create the build and see what other issues I can run into :) Brian 2011/8/23 Santanu Basu <santanu.b...@tcs.com> > Brian, > > How are you opening command prompt?
