Cannot call sass or ruby command's in bat file

I am trying to run the sass --watch command in a bat file like so

@echo off
set path="C:\styles"
sass --watch %path%

pause

I am getting the error 'sass' is not recognized as an internal or external command etc....

I get the same issue if i try calling ruby.exe

I can run sass and ruby in a command line window and it works fine. Ruby version 1.9.3.3p362, Sass version 3.2.5 (Media Mark), Windows 7

I have tried adding 'call' before the sass command and running as administrator but no success so far.

Thanks for any help

It appears that the executable files cannot be located.

It could have something to do with you overriding the path - try using another variable name for your temp needs!

So, either ensure that the folders of the executables are set properly in your $PATH environment variable or call the executables with their full path. For example:

"C:/MyFolder/Ruby 1.9.x/ruby.exe" ...

or

"C:/your path/of/sass.exe" -- watch ...
