Batch file crashing

Hi again,

I'm having some trouble batching my files together, and I'm wondering whether it might be something to do with working between versions.

I use Version 5.0.6.0 at home, but my University uses 5.0.2.0 and won't update.

I am trying to batch together modifications of a SRPT and a SART, and it's working fine in Version 5.0.6.0 - but in Version 5.0.2.0 the batch file causes Inquisit to crash after the first part of the experiment (SRPT) has finished, before it can run the SART. 

In both versions the files work fine when they are run separately, but only in 5.0.2.0 does the batch crash.

In both instances the batch file and experiment files are identical, the batch simply looks like this:

<batch>
/file = "selfreferentialprocessing.iqx"
/file = "sart.iqx"
</batch>

Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Thanks.

The outdated version your university has installed seems like the most likely explanation -- try to get them to update, they really should. There have been many, many bugs fixed since 5.0.2.0 was released.
