When running a .cmd or .bat script, is it possible to redirect the output that is written in the window? The window opens then closes immediately so any error that may occur cannot be determined.
Solution

When running a .cmd or .bat script, i.e. installTool.cmd, to capture what would be written to the window, you can try using the following command, replacing filename with a name of your choosing:

installTool.cmd -s -d >> filename

For example:

installTool.cmd -s -d >> C:\install.log
