I suspect the spaces in the path are causing the bat file command line to be misinterpreted. Rename that "Proof OF" ...etc directory without spaces.

Generally speaking, paths with spaces cause nothing but trouble in Java.

Note that if you are executing this bat file from a Java program with exec() you will have to consume the std out and std err streams created by the Process - see java.lang.Process javadocs.

Thanks for your reply, I had missed out one line

cd <<location path of the jar file>>

, now it works....
