Asked By TechSquirrel88 On

I'm encountering an issue when trying to run a .bat file for an application. I get an error message saying, "windows can't find 'runw'. Make sure the name is correct and try again." This issue is popping up on 3 out of 7 PCs in my network, and it started after I swapped the hard drives for SSDs. All the PCs are connected to a domain. I'd appreciate any assistance with this problem!

Can you share what the .bat file is supposed to do? Knowing the content is key to diagnosing the problem. Also, could there be a typo in the file, like accidentally adding a 'w' at the end of 'run'? That could be the culprit!

Just a heads up, .bat files are scripts, not applications. Most regular users don't need to run them, so double-check your necessity on executing this script!

Cloning your drive shouldn't cause this issue. Check the expected location for 'runw' in Windows, and replace the file manually if necessary.

Have you made sure that you are right-clicking on the .bat file and selecting 'Run as administrator'? That sometimes helps with permission issues.

If the .bat file isn't too long, it might be helpful for you to post its contents here. It could provide clues as to why it's looking for 'runw' instead of the expected command.
