Wait a minute. I could reproduce this scenario. Does the user through which you login have permissions to execute that run.bat file? Right click on run.bat , select Properties and in the Security tab see which users have what permissions on this file. I disabled execute priveleges for this file on my local setup and when i tried to run it from the command prompt, the control immidiately returned back without any messages. However when i double clicked on the run.bat file, i did get an windows pop-up which mentioned that i dont have the permission to execute this file.
