WMIC: how to use **process call create** with a specific working directory?

The task is to launch a program using `wmic process call create "c:\folder\app.exe"` and have `app.exe` access it's own support files in the `app.exe home folder tree`. The batch script below illustrates the problem with WMIC silently changing the working directory, so that the support files cannot be found. This script creates a second batch file called `one.bat` that simply types a `url.txt` file from the same folder, to display `www.google.com` on the console. When using `wmic` to create the process, wmic silently changes the working directory so that `one.bat` is not found and if I specify the full path as `d:\abc\one.bat` then `one.bat` will launch but it can't find the file to be typed called `url.txt` in it's own folder. If I copy the WMIC.EXE file to the same folder, it fails in the same way. ``` @echo off set "folder=d:\abc" cd /d "%folder%" ( echo.@echo off echo.type url.txt echo.pause )>one.bat ( echo.@echo off echo.www.google.com )>url.txt echo this will work to launch the one.bat but the working directory is wrong and the file can't be found wmic process call create "%folder%\one.bat" pause echo this will not launch one.bat because it can't be found wmic process call create one.bat pause echo this will not launch one.bat as the working directory is changed copy "%windir%\system32\wbem\wmic.exe" . .\wmic process call create one.bat pause ``` Does anyone know of a `WMIC` switch that will set the working directory for this command?
