Tried that and still get the error. If I comment out and change references for the sc.exe, then it works. Must be syntax. Here is the block of code that works, but still shows code that didn't work. Do you see anything obvious?

UPDATE: By testing I found out that the values of the parameters are valid and that it doesn't matter which ones I send, there can even be three, but I think the problem is that the three of them together are too long for the command. They include paths, which is required, so how do I send these paramenters to the batch file?

UPDATE2: Ok, I tried sending 50 characters each for the 3 parameters and it accepted them, so it's not length. Stuff like this drives me nuts. It all works great until it just doesn't.

UPDATE3: Ok, I've changed the run command to this, and I don't get an error, but it's not pausing for me to see what the values of the parameters are either. It just flashes the DOS screen and goes away.

RUN "&InstallBatchFilename"  "&scFilename" "&instsrvFilename" "&srvanyFilename"

What's below here is what I orignally posted...
