    I got it working now. I guess it is a bug, but when you configures a startscript in the config.json it starts working.

        Try this config.json file to start the test.bat file. Create a dummy AppLauncher.ps1 and put that one in the root of the package.
        {
        "applications": [
        {
        "id": "PSFLAUNCHERSIXFOUR",
        "executable": "VFS\\ProgramFilesX64\\Test\\cmd.exe",
        "arguments": "\/c VFS\\ProgramFilesX64\\Test\\test.bat",
        "workingDirectory": "",
        "stopOnScriptError": true,
        "startScript":
        {
        "scriptPath": "AppLauncher.ps1",
        "scriptArguments": "",
        "runInVirtualEnvironment": true,
        "showWindow": false,
        "waitForScriptToFinish": true,
        "runOnce": false
        },
        "endScript":
        {
        "scriptPath": "AppLauncher.ps1",
        "scriptArguments": "",
        "runInVirtualEnvironment": true,
        "showWindow": false,
        "waitForScriptToFinish": true,
        "runOnce": false
        }
        }
        ]
        }

         

        i put the cmd.exe in the package. This to be able to start the script in the bubble. If i used c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe it runs outside the bubble. Also to let the cmd.exe work correctly, a subfolder en-us with cmd.mui.exe is required.

         

        @tmangan is this expected behavior?
