I have this batch file that runs a sequence of commands, actually they're Dell bios setups and flashes. Three set the boot order. One changes some settings. And one reboots the machine and flashes it. A sequence of 5 commands...and I mention they're Dell bios files created with Dell Client Configuration Utility because it's notoriously difficult to deal with.

Anyway the batch file works fine. When I create a Winzip self extractor it works fine.

When I use Iexpress to package it the first command runs then it just quits. Echo is turned on so I'm seeing everything on screen. It just stops. But if you run it again on the same machine it works as expected.

I'm at a loss on how to even trouble shoot it so any thoughts would be a huge help.

Thanks!
