Very simple batch file. Where am I going wrong?

[ColdAsIce]

Trying to run a batch file that will execute two .exe programs. Doesn't seem to be working.

example

in install.bat

C:\Documents and Settings\joe.bloggs\Desktop\test folder\test1.exe

C:\Documents and Settings\joe.bloggs\Desktop\test folder\test2.exe

pause

I get the following error just after the above two commands:

is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

doh... forgot the "" so it will run now but anyone know why if I use start /wait command then it just hangs?

Try

start C:\Documents and Settings\joe.bloggs\Desktop\test folder\test1.exe
