The problem is probably the path is not correctly set.
====================
If you have forgotten the DOS command, type 'help', and you will be given a list of commands.
Use CD to change the workingdirectory.
====================
When you start the DOS prompt, the working directetory is usually Windows32. If you use a short cut, you can set the target in the properticy pop up to point to your working directory..
If the working directory is not the one where the batch file is, you will need to enter the full path for the batch file..
If you have never used DOS before, probably you will not follow all the above steps.
====================
I created a short batch file in the directory where all your working files are, including the
ExerciseOutput1-CustomCSV.bat .
You can give it a short name In1.bat.
==============
echo on
ExerciseOutput1-CustomCSV.bat ExerciseOutput1 Ex1Output
Pause
Exit
===============
When you double click on the In1.bat, the window will open the DOS screen, showing the path of your directory, which is extracted from '%0' of In1.bat.
When you use the original batch file, you need to type in two auguments which are the name of the eso file and the name of the .rvi and .mvi files. These are now fixed in In1.bat
I have Ex1Output.rvi as my input control file.
By using the In1 bat file, the input line is pre-prefared, and a psuse is added so that you can see the DOS screen result at the end of the execution..
All you need to type at the DOS comand screen is "In1<CR>".
By the way, you need to change the set path for %post_proc% as mentioned by Mr. Ooi below.
