Start by doing a dir to proove that batchuser.exe actually exists.  The
linker could have generated an error.

If it exists then check if the default directory is the one in which
batchuser.exe is located.  If not then unless batchuser.exe is in one of the
directories which are listed in the system path, the operating system will
not find it.  The system path is a set of path names separated by semicolons
which defines where the OS will look for executable files and dll's.  You
can see what the system path is by giving the command PATH

If none of the above applies then please show the contents of the make file
which was used to create batchuser.exe
