batch command to execute Visual Studio starts as cmd instead of launching
a very simple batch file
@echo off
START "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio2017EnterpriseCommon7IDEdevenv.exe"
I'm trying to use a batch file to launch visual studio, where normally I double click on this executable. When run this batch it instead launches visual studio's command line instead of the actual application.
What am I doing wrong?

Check start /?. You'll note the command looks like this: start ["title"] ... [command/program].
Unfortunately this means that just a quoted string gets interpreted as a title and not as a command.
If you insert a dummy title it should be ok.

Ah yes, this solved it. I should have check the help. I had a strange feeling it had to do with something on visual studio's side, glad I was wrong.
