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

The "The system cannot find the batch label specified" error message brought me here (10 years later!) and the problem turned out to be the CRLF was incorrect.

The cause, in our case, was a Git Repository that didn't recognize BAT files as being text files which needed to be CRLF on a Windows 7 machine.

Our solution was to create a .gitattributes file containing the line:

*.bat text eol=crlf

Then deleting the BAT files and checking out from the repository re-wrote our BAT files with the correct line endings. The BAT labels are now working again.
