Im having the same issue as the other guys in the thread but there seemed to be no solution so far. (...)/batbox.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ...going in a loop. I've not found much info regarding this in google. Any new info? Thanks for your work!
This program has worked fine for me. Even uninstalling and reinstalling Cortana works fine. The only problem I encounter is it seems to have issues connecting to servers sometimes. It will state that no connection can be made, but will download the files for the removal/reinstall, anyways. Other than that, this is a great tool.
i'm using CU (v1703 build 15063.138) - got the same issue. I tried to isolate the issue - it does not starts with the cab extract command "Expand -r batbox.ex_" -> since the issue is with the vbs parser command: "Cscript /b /e:vbs t.dat>batbox.ex_". if you wipe the "/b" switch ( which just hides errors output ) you get the following: "t.dat(8, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Invalid procedure call or argument" so i've checked t.dat ( you must remark its del line to get it ): Code: For b=1 To len("4D5343460000000073030000000000002C000000000000000301010001000000") Step 2WScript.StdOut.Write

AS A TEMP REMEDY Get batbox.exe from here: mediafire.com/download/9fe5dhungv6vipc/batbox.zip Source: thebateam.org/2016/08/batboxexe-vs-fndll-fight-for-awesomeness.html Put it under %temp% then you 100% SUCCESSFULLY be able to run "win10 toggle tweaker v4.0". P.S I disabled every possible AV on my mobo: comodo, malwarebytes etc... plus adding batbox.ex_,t.dat etc files to exclusion list in these AV apps....but it did not helped -
I don't know why it only happens to some people... If Windows version is not the issue, maybe it's the Windows language? Could you tell me what language and codepage (cmd -> chcp.com) is your Windows 10 using? Mine is English and codepage 850.
I tried deleting batbox.exe from %TEMP% and adding chcp 437 to the batch but it still ran correctly. Could you compress your batch into a zip, rar or 7z and upload it somewhere so I can eliminate the file itself as the problem? By the way, what is your %TEMP% path?
%TEMP% = C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp I found this site: batch.xoo.it/t2243-Commande-Externe-Batbox-v1-0.htm?start=30 got the latest batbox from: app.box.com/s/425wmab6sgvvi8wi080i/1/1040810797/27073821876/1 extracted makebb.bat and ran it -> problem still exist. after remakring the del lines and >nul, I still get "t.dat(6, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Invalid procedure call or argument" I tried adding chcp 437 at the start of that makebb.bat - still same error. P.S - All the archives of the previous versions of BATBOX can be found here: https app.box.com/s/425wmab6sgvvi8wi080i
Thanks for the links. I downloaded batbox-3.1-dist.zip, extracted batbox\bin\makebb.bat to a folder and ran it, it extracts batbox.exe correctly. Are you extracting in a path with "special characters" other than a-z, A-Z and 0-9? Try creating C:\TEST, extract makebb.bat to it and see if it extracts correctly.
OK - I solved it for good ! one need to replace the following 3 lines of the script, found just under the hex block of the batbox of "Toggle Tweaker.bat" v4.0 as follows.

Not working for me, it doesn't create any file, not even t.dat if you remove the rest of the lines after that. The CHCP test was not for you to add 437 (United States) which is already your pagecode, but 850 (Multilingual) to see if it fixed something or not.
I replaced Code: Do >>t.dat (Echo.For b=1 To len^("%%b"^) Step 2 ECHO WScript.StdOut.Write Chr^(Clng^("&H"^&Mid^("%%b",b,2^)^)^) : Next) with Code: Do >>t.dat (Echo.%%b) so that t.dat will hold string of hex code of compressed batbox ( cab file ). otherwise, it creates t.dat with commands for 'Cscript' command. NOTE: I've fixed that line so that it does NOT contains '>nul 2>&1' any more - that's why it does not works for you. after that, since 'Cscript' is NOT needed anymore, but the string-hex file 't.dat' needs to be converted to a bin file I use Code: certutil -decodehex t.dat batbox.ex_ >nul 2>&1 instead of Code: Cscript /b /e:vbs t.dat>batbox.ex_ JUNK LINE CAN BE WIPED so as you can see I just remarked that last line with '::' so 'Cscript' line get disabled. all of that give us the 3 lines I said above to replace: Code: ) Do >>t.dat (Echo.%%b) certutil -decodehex t.dat batbox.ex_ >nul 2>&1 ::Cscript /b /e:vbs t.dat>batbox.ex_ ------------------------------------------------------------------- if you want to see 't.dat' you need to remark the following line with '::' at the start of that line Code: Del /f /q /a t.dat >nul 2>&1 so it gets: Code: ::Del /f /q /a t.dat >nul 2>&1 IF DONE SO, DO NOT FORGET TO MANUALLY WIPE 't.day' BEFORE YOU LAUNCH AGAIN THE SCRIPT SINCE ANY ADDITIONAL RUN WILL APPEND MORE STRING ONTO 't.dat', WHICH MAKES IT LARGER THEN IT SHOULD BE. ------------------------------------------------------------------- lastly, about chcp command.... I tried both pagecode on the orig script ( at the start of the script ) - it does NOT help. I also tried to insert chcp X at the start of the batbox part of the script- it does NOT help.
Thanks, removing nul did the trick. I'll suggest Yasser to add it to his code, or he'll probably read it here The original code was created in the XP age, while certutil is only available from Vista / Server 2008 onwards. I would still prefer to solve the problem of the original code, but I simply can't replicate the error.
Each time i try to run it, several lines appear and then window starts flashing / refreshing the text very fast. Any ideas what might cause this?
Try the fix suggested by night_mare007. Edit ToggleTweaker with notepad and replace: Code: ) Do >>t.dat (Echo.For b=1 To len^("%%b"^) Step 2 ECHO WScript.StdOut.Write Chr^(Clng^("&H"^&Mid^("%%b",b,2^)^)^) : Next) Cscript /b /e:vbs t.dat>batbox.ex_ With: Code: ) Do >>t.dat (Echo.%%b) certutil -decodehex t.dat batbox.ex_ >nul 2>&1
would please indicate where are these lines to be replaced ,just found a so many lines or codes on the notepad? excuse my poor sight
Ok, I'll explain in baby steps: 1. Open "Toggle Tweaker.bat" in notepad (right click, Edit) 2. search for "/e:vbs" (Edit, Find, or Ctrl+F, only one ocurrence) 3. Replace these 3 lines Code: ) Do >>t.dat (Echo.For b=1 To len^("%%b"^) Step 2 ECHO WScript.StdOut.Write Chr^(Clng^("&H"^&Mid^("%%b",b,2^)^)^) : Next) Cscript /b /e:vbs t.dat>batbox.ex_ With these 2 lines Code: ) Do >>t.dat (Echo.%%b) certutil -decodehex t.dat batbox.ex_ >nul 2>&1
