Windows batch file - The system cannot find the batch label specified

Question

The Problem

I\'m having a problem with a Windows batch file and labels. I keep getting this error:

The system cannot find the batch label

Answer 1

One possibility, although it seems unlikely, is that command extensions aren't enabled, or up-to-date, and this is interfering with call/goto/label behaviour.

Try:

echo [%cmdextversion%]

and if it's less than [2] (or empty -- []) then check to see if cmd.exe is being invoked with /e:off, or just run

cmd /e:on

in the console window where you will run this batch file.
