      I want to execute a batch script on my Windows XP slaves, before the slave gets connected. But this fails, as the slave-setup only supports shell. From Jenkins configuration -> Slave setups

      prepare script -
      setup files directory D:\jenkins_slavesetup
      setup script after copy .\launch-slave.bat
      deploy on save now disabled
      Label Expression SlaveA 
      Executing script '.\launch-slave.bat' on SlaveA
[jenkins] $ sh -xe C:\Temp\hudson7567579782678732298.sh

      When I override the Shell executable to 'cmd'. I get the following.

      Executing script '.\launch-slave.bat' on SlaveA
[jenkins] $ cmd -xe C:\Temp\hudson6054783183706487524.sh
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

d:\jenkins>script executed successfully.
slave setup done.
Slave successfully connected and online

      But the commands from the launch-slave.bat file are not executed. Expected is something like the following command is executed. This is equal to the Execute Windows batch command from the Build step.

      [jenkins] $ cmd /c call C:\Temp\hudson6746024923916378374.bat
