Redirecting CMD Commands To An EXE File

Question

Basically I have created an choice batch that every so often I can archive the contents of my boot data since I change it quite often and it works absolutely perfect, however I face the problem that every time I compile the batch from .BAT to.EXE with Advanced BAT to EXE converter the command 'bcdedit' never works and says “Not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.” Now the first thing I did was to make sure if I had the environment variables directed on my hard drive and it seemed fine:

Path: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Users\Support\DOCUME~1\MYFILE~1\Programs\SYSTEM~1\DISKEE~1\

It has all the variables needed to work perfectly plus a few external ones which is ok then I thought that maybe I should try to make it direct on my folder, by doing some research I found on another forum: Setting or Modifying a System Wide Environment Variable In CMD.EXE I made a separate .BAT and I called it and it seems it did create the separate variable:

C:\Users\???\Documents\;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Users\Support\DOCUME~1\MYFILE~1\Programs\SYSTEM~1\DISKEE~1" /f

But It Still Didn't Work!

I read upon another form:

Syswow64 Redirection

The person solution was to use Create Process () to create a program that automatically redirects him to the folder using sysnative (System32) but I'm a total beginner at C#, CMD is my strongest area when it comes to coding.

Please please I beg of you to help me as soon as possible and if you do have an answer please state in the easiest way possible and why. Here's my script just in case:

Thanks So Much!

bcdedit is on the path by default so unless you are reusing the PATH variable then the problem is in the batch compiler.

You can test this by using the plain batch file - and if it works then you know where the problem is.
