The Reprap bat file

I have almost gotten the software running. The only problem is that the "# cd" command in ms dos is not recognized by my computer. I did a printscreen of the file running. See the attached file for the printscreen. Now that I think of it, my computer may be using the wrong program to open the file. It is MS DOS, right? Anyways, whatever the problem may be, I am stumped. Please try to help me out.

That's an impressively inefficient way to send a few lines of error text

The # stuff is infact the way you usually write comments in *nix shell scripts and perl and so on. Someone presumably wasn't concentrating when they made a windows batch file.

Replace any instances of # starting a line with rem instead. It will all work just fine.

Worry more about your java installation. That's a much bigger hassle, and what is actually breaking. And what I also can't usefully help with :-/

How do I replace the instances of # with rem?

With a text editor. Just open the .bat file in notepad.

Or you can right click the batch file, and select edit, and do it that way...

But The important thing is that your java installation is incorrect. I suggest you search the forums to take a look at the problems other people have had. The # thing is merely cosmetic, and doesn't really matter.

Perfect. This worked, but it turns out that in addition, my computer calls the file a certificate trust list, and a .ctl, so the bat file cannot find any .stl file.

Something else is going on. Here is another few lines of error code. (attatched like the first one)

Here is the current code (I typed it this time):

C:\Program Files\Reprap>rem reprap-host

RE-install your java jajo.
