Not sure, if this post is still read, but nevertheless. You should try the following: On top of the code right after @echo off you have to put in

 setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

Additionally anywhere you want to use variables changed in a block of brackets (like For-Loops or If's) you have to change the %into ! to get !varname!

This should be helping...
