Step stuck on Running

I am trying to launch a program (.exe) on users computers. I have tried it via a cmd step and also by calling a .bat. The program is actually launching fine but the step in PDQ Deploy gets stuck on "Running".

    Thats because only "starting" a .exe (without a install routine) dosen't return a success or failure Code 

    Maybe try a *Exit* command at the end of the .bat.

    I had the "Exit" command in there and it still would get stuck.

    I ended up figuring out how to get it to work by creating my bat file like this:

    start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\xyzprogrampath\" xyz.exe
