In batch script it's expectedly simple:

cmd /c C:\test\firstExe.exe A:\test\secondExe.exe
pause

After some messing about:

  • the direction of slashes doesn't matter
  • it doesn't matter if any or all Path(s) is/are inserted in quotation marks

actual output

expected output
opening test.txt in notepad

#

observation
leaving out the prefix "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c" doesn't change behaviour
