What you have done sounds correctly, but maybe you could try to open a
command prompt and run the bat file from the command prompt so you can
see what it says ?
At the moment it sounds like just closes the window so you have no idea
what the error is.

If I remember correctly, the iTunes_Hist.txt file is renamed at the end
of the execution so the next time you run the script it will be a new
file which only contains the changes since last time the script was
run.
