My guess is that StartServer.bat never returns. Does the batch file include
something like:
start Server.exe
(notice that "start" is the command and Server.exe is the program to run)
I think that that is the Windows "run the following program in the
background" syntax - I may be wrong, but that's the idea. If it doesn't
include that, the batch file will wait for the exe to return - which ISN'T
what you want.
