At my company we are also using/maintaining a native (Windows) launcher (and a [ba]sh-based counter part for linux/unix-es) and I've always asked myself if a pure Win Batch script would suffice; I would have imagined something like Ant's, Tomcat's or Groovy's launchers. However, given the many gotchas of Win Batch that you've already enumerated and the flexibility and power of C + native/system API, now I also think that this is by far a better approach. Your post offered me the external validation I was looking for :) and now I am pretty sure we are doing the right thing. Good luck and looking forward to see how this goes! (pretty well how I see it) Regards, Tavi Hi,

Nice post + job on the native launcher!

At my company we are also using/maintaining a native (Windows) launcher (and a [ba]sh-based counter part for linux/unix-es) and I’ve always asked myself if a pure Win Batch script would suffice; I would have imagined something like Ant’s, Tomcat’s or Groovy’s launchers.

However, given the many gotchas of Win Batch that you’ve already enumerated and the flexibility and power of C + native/system API, now I also think that this is by far a better approach. Your post offered me the external validation I was looking for :) and now I am pretty sure we are doing the right thing.

Good luck and looking forward to see how this goes! (pretty well how I see it)

Maybe that logic can be ported in, even if it just execs ng.exe as a child process?
