Problem with batch script run before comparison

[_SB_]

I am trying to run a script to check for long path before I do a comparison but when I configure script will not run before comparison VV just shows a spinning wheel and does nothing.
It seems to be caught up in the batch file.
I tried removing the pause but this did not help.

Script is below:

------------------------------

rem run check long path executable

call TLPD_x64.exe Q: 230

rem check exist code (look at readme for more info)

echo TLPD_x64.exe returns "%ERRORLEVEL%"

IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (

rem echo Long paths found

cscript MessageBox.vbs "Long paths found. Please resolve before compare"

rem: open log file

%TEMP%/TLPD-log.txt

) ELSE (

cscript MessageBox.vbs "No Long paths found, proceed with
compare. ")

rem pause

------------------------------

MessageBox.vbs contains:

------------------------------

Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments

messageText = objArgs(0)

MsgBox messageText

------------------------------

It works OK when I run the following script:

Message box call.cmd which contains:

------------------------------

cscript MessageBox.vbs "Don't forget to check for long paths."

------------------------------

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you for contacting us. Please try removing one line at a time from batch to see which one is causing the issue. If you find that line, please let us know... thanks!

Looks like it did not like the echo command.
