Puzzling out why a program doesn’t work when run from a batch file, but works when double-clicked from Explorer

Quality: 9/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

The post explains why a program may fail when launched from a batch file due to the current directory not matching the program’s location. It notes that Explorer sets the current directory to the program’s directory, and shows using pushd to adjust the batch file’s working directory as a fix. It also mentions alternatives such as custom App Paths to influence PATH behavior.
