msbatch file not working properly

What I Have:

The script in msbatch.bat is as follows, per the posting here:

@echo off
rem
rem %1 should be the name of the application (ex. msbatch.bat cnvdgn)
rem %2-%9 are other parameters to be passed through to the application
rem
runwait OpenBuildingsDesigner.exe -wa%1 -i%2 -i%3 -i%4 -i%5 -i%6 -i%7 -i%8 -i%9

This is called by this file (let's call it 'conversion_process.bat') I have set to run with task scheduler:

cd /d C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenBuildings Connect Edition\OpenBuildingsDesigner
msbatch batchprocess P:\CAD\220_ARCHITECTURAL\OBD_Configuration\Dataset_FGG\Setting\batchprocessname.bprc > logfile.log 2>&1
pause

The file 'msbatch' is placed in the directory specified by the task scheduler script, and is the location of OpenBuildingsDesigner.exe.

The Issue:

Whenever I attempt to run the script, I get the following error:

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

Why is 'runwait' not recognized, where is this command supposed to be, and why are the only listings I can find about 'runwait' online referring to AutoHotKey, which my coworker does not have installed but can run this script with no problem? Is there an environment variable that I need to make sure is set before my PC will recognize the command as valid? Is this process even available for OpenBuildingsDesigner?

The '> logfile.log 2>&1' was needed as the command wouldn't run properly and thus the cmd window closes prior to the 'pause' command, not allowing me to see any error info.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

  • I would also like to point out, attempting to use 'ustation -?' as per this post (with the exception of doing it in the OpenBuildingsDesigner installation folder, where both ustation.dll and ustation.rsc are listed) results in the same error message, and does not provide a list of switches as promised. it looks like there's an issue with how my computer recognizes this folder, or the installation did not install properly on my machine.

    The executable for MicroStation CONNECT is MicroStation.exe.  That wiki article refers to earlier 32-bit versions of MicroStation.

    Perhaps the authors  or could bring it up to date?

    Here's what I see when I key-in MicroStation /? at a Windows command prompt...
