When not using the complete path and using pause it just say:
'sgminer.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
absolutely the same massage I received when for the first time started the bat file
it was because my Kasperski deleted the sgminer.exe
I added the folder in Kasperski exceptions
place another fresh copy of the miner in the folder - and it was OK
I did, i even uninstalled the antivirus completely, no changes
i also downloaded everything again without antivirus, no changes.
If you run your bat as administrator (or is marked to run as administrator) then commands inside bat is not point in your current folder.
