I tried creating a Batch file (F7). However, when I run the batch
file, nothing happens. Same thing if I run the vbs file.
It works fine if I run dirhtml with F3.
Any ideas, or where to start looking?
thanks,
Tharpa

Can you post the .bat and .vbs files? No problems have been reported
lately.
The first place to look is "does the .init file exist?"
.vbs files should generally look something this:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run("""dirhtml.exe"" ""my_bat_file.init""")
and .bat files like this:
"dirhtml.exe" "BAT~1.INI"
REM "dirhtml.exe" "my_bat_file.init"
If the .bat/.vbs is saved somewhere other than the dirhml.exe folder,
there should be a relative or absolute reference to the location of
dirthml.exe, depending on the drive it's created in.

One more thought... is "Auto-Launch batch generated files" selected
on the Input/Output page?

"dirhtml.exe" "BUILD_~1.INI"
REM "dirhtml.exe" "build_htmlbat.init"
and
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run("""dirhtml.exe"" ""build_htmlbat.init""")
The init file does exist.
In a separate trial, I tried removing the INI file reference, and it
did successfully launch dirhtml.

I have tried it with and without selecting that option.

Did you re-build the bat/vbs files after selecting "Auto-Launch" ?
In batch file mode, dirhtml only cares about what's in the .init file.

Eric,
It seems that it doesn't like paths of the form \\fg47\etc. When I
changed to the path to the same spot, but with mapped drive location,
e.g. M:\etc., it worked fine.
