Folks,
I've installed the Traveler version of VeraCrypt on a flash drive. I would like to provide a Windows batch file on that disk to make mounting of an encrypted file easier. Here is my batch file (mount.bat) which I've put on the root of the flash drive:
:: Mount the Dymo encrypted data on Y:
echo OFF
VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt-x64.exe /q /v Encrypted/Dymo.hc /l Y
VeraCrypt runs when I execute this batch command and prompts me for the password. However, after entering the password I get an error messages:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Source: MountVolume:8455
If I REMOVE the /q option I don't get an error message but then I have to manually click on "Mount" and enter the password.
I'd really like to hear any thoughts on why /q seems to trigger an error message and, more critically, what changes I can make to the batch file to allow the encrypted file to be mounted with the least amount of user interaction.
Many thanks, Wayne
You should use a back slash, rather than a forward slash, in your path to the encrypted file:
Many thanks for pointing out my "dumb" error - I must have had Linux in mind when I set up this BATCH file! I am a little surprised that VeraCrypt ran even with the forward slash in the Path....
In any case, thanks very much!

The above signature shows that this is a valid message from me!
