Here is an example. This is just a short test I threw together to post. As you can see, the scripts aren't waiting, as all done is echoed before the echos from the other scripts. The output is as follows and the code is below...

***************
starting main
***************

all done
IM HERE IN 1
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>

IM HERE IN 2
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>

Code: Select all

@echo off

echo. ***************
echo. starting main
echo. ***************

start /d "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop" /wait /b test1.bat
start /d "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop" /wait /b test2.bat

echo.
echo.
echo. all done

This is test1

Code: Select all

@echo off
Echo. IM HERE IN 1

this is test2

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo.
echo.
Echo. IM HERE IN 2

I decided just to use the call function instead rather than start. It seems to work fine.

When using start with batch files, I always:

start "" /wait cmd /c "batchfile.cmd"
