I am trying to run a batch file that creates a shared folder using the "Run" command. It does not execute.

Do I have to convert this to a Comspec command and any ideas what the syntax would be?
Thank you for any assitance you can provide.

IfExist, %AppFolder%\Components\CreateShare.bat
Run, %AppFolder%\Components\CreateShare.bat
;Creates a share

Contents of CreateShare.bat file:
rem Creating Admin directory.
mkdir "C:\IO Agent"
net share IOAgent="C:\IO Agent" /UNLIMITED
echo y | CACLS "C:\IO Agent" /T /E /G Everyone:F

Still having trouble formatting the Extrrnal batch file to a comspec command. Any suggestions?

I have no experience on this, but one workaround that comes to mind is to "run cmd.exe" and then type your batch file path into there via Send, and press {enter}.

Perhaps something like Run, %comspec% /c "%AppFolder%\Components\CreateShare.bat" ?

Ohhhh that worked just fine. Thanks so much!!!

Ahh... That's good to know. I guess I was half-way there by using cmd.exe (%comspec%).
