I have setup Jenkins in Docker and am able to run some ANT script, I now have to run some 'windows batch script'. I gave a basic command echo "Hello" but I am getting the following error... I believe it is expecting cmd.exe to be in my work space??? Can some one please help me resolve this ? Thanks in advance.

[CI] $ cmd /c call /tmp/hudson5615964182226568321.bat

Your Jenkins setup must be in Linux, and when you are selecting "Windows batch COmmand", the command won't work in Linux System. Hence, the system is describing to you that cmd cannot be executed in Uninx machine.

In my case since jenkins is running on VM which is providing a Linux based system in Windows. We cannot execute Windows Batch Command becuase jenkins is running on Linux based VM.

So we have to run shell scripts. Just select Execute Shell instead of Execute Windows Batch Command
