I have been looking for a solution quite a long time without success. So I guess this is too obvious. I have been using batch rendering (with .bat files) recently but changed the CPU. Now the command "maxwell" in command line cmd.exe does results into approximately "wrong spelling or not found". When I type "maxwell" from within the Maxwell application folder Maxwell starts regularly with GUI. Everything else works fine so I thing installation was successful. What I want to do is to use script files of the type "maxwell -mxs:... -mxi:... -o:...." in Windows 7. Please help!

Hi lsda,

I'm not sure I am understanding your issue but I think you just need to type the whole path, not just "maxwell" but something like:

"C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 2\maxwell.exe" (don't forget the quotes if your path contains spaces)

If you just want to type "maxwell.exe" you should append the path of the maxwell folder (in this case "C:\Program Files\Next Limit\Maxwell 2") to the PATH environment variable.

I hope it helps,

Juan

Perfect, thank you very much, this is it!
By the way: how could I have known this? Could your solution be a desirable Maxwell manual enhancement? Should we forward this issue to the wish list? Or am I totally uninformed and should have known this?

Basic knowledge, just like starting a program in Command Prompt

Since I did not know this for Windows. In Mac OS X I know that I have to chmod it into executable, but I still use the long path. May I also ask how to use "maxwell" without path in a Mac-OS-X-Script?
