User Script fails-Anyone used custom scripts successfully?

I've created a profile to run a batch file before comparison via VVScheduler:.
auto_start.bat, but I get the following log entries:

2005-10-26 23:44:35 : ************************************************************
2005-10-26 23:44:35 : Profile Started.
2005-10-26 23:44:35 : [INFO] Script "c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\viceversa pro 2\BackupBWgoldDir_auto_start.bat" was run and returned code -1
2005-10-26 23:44:35 : [ERROR] Script "c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\viceversa pro 2\BackupBWgoldDir_auto_start.bat" returned an exit code not equal to 0. Stopping execution.
2005-10-26 23:44:35 : ************************************************************
The batch file consists of the following statements and the directory exists:
c:
RD C:\BackBWgoldDir\BWgoldDir15 /s /q
exit 0
ENDLOCAL

Even if the directory did not exist and an errorlevel was set to non-zero, the exit 0 statement returns a zero to VV.

It runs fine in a command prompt window, so why doesn't the batch file execute via VVScheduler?

Has anyone used the "Run custom scripts before comparison" with a BAT file successfully??

Yes i do run a custom batch file before comparison and i got no error. But am just doing some ping command (to be sure that the remote VPN site is up). I don't have to specify a return code, i just do an "exit" at the end of batch file. Maybe you got something like an open file error that generate an RC=1 instead of RC=0 ?

Good luck! Wink

Hello Ceje1

I tried the following batch

echo TEST
c:
cd \
rd removeme /s /q
pause
exit 0
ENDLOCAL

and it works fine.

In your case, VV is ruinning the following bat file as per log file:

c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\viceversa pro 2\BackupBWgoldDir_auto_start.bat

make sure the content of the script is correct.
