Unable to run batch file from Metatrader

[[Deleted]]

I am able to run a batch file from the command prompt just fine  BUT when I try and run from Metatrader I get Error 2 Code.

MQL4 Script:

#import "shell32.dll"

int ShellExecuteA(int hWnd, string Verb, string File, string Parameter, string Path, int ShowCommand);

#import int r=ShellExecuteA(0, "Open", "C:\Users\Administrator\Tools\send.bat", "", "", 1);

if (r <= 32){ Alert("Shell failed: ", r); return(false); } 

 

Like I said, running the .bat file or using command prompt, just fine. MQL4 Script does not.  I have tried various variations of the above, like "Run" instead of "Open", cmd.com, etc.  same error 2.

Has anyone come across this?
