windows batch file terminating prematurely

Question

I have a following batch file

echo Setting  visual studio 2010 environment variables
set VSPATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0"
%VSPATH%\VC\vcvarsall.bat

echo Generating Service

the 'Generating Service' line never prints out, can someone point out how it should be done so batch file continues execution ?

Answer 1

Try using the CALL statement in front of your batch file

echo Setting  visual studio 2010 environment variables 
set VSPATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0" 
CALL %VSPATH%\VC\vcvarsall.bat 

echo Generating Service
