How do I specify a specific installation or version of FME to use in my batch file?

 

 

This Knowledge Center article explains the syntax and use-cases, but 'fme' always gives me a version of FME I don't want!

Another option that I used before is making a copy of the fme.exe application and rename that copy using the version number (e.g. fme2015.exe, fme 2016_1.exe) and use that in the batch file.

To launch the workspace with a specific version/build of FME using a batch file, replace 'fme' with the full path to the fme.exe application located in the installation folder of the version/build you would like to use!

e.g. C:\\apps\\FME\\fme.exe C:\\Downloads\\workspace.fmw
