When I run Julia programs (*.jl files) via the supplied julia.bat, any error message pops up in a command window, which gets immediately closed, so there is no chance I can read it. An extra line in the batch file solves the program: if errorlevel 1 pause
That is, the julia.bat could look like this (no need for the cleanup lines, they are performed implicitly in the end of the batch): pushd %cd% setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion call "%~dp0prepare-julia-env.bat" %* call "%JULIA_HOME%julia-readline.exe" %* if errorlevel 1 pause
