The term 'PROCESS_MAPS.bat' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

ERROR:
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2802508333\mods\APEXMAKER>PROCESS_MAPS.bat PROCESS_MAPS.bat : The term 'PROCESS_MAPS.bat' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + PROCESS_MAPS.bat + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (PROCESS_MAPS.bat:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I've done some digging on this since people started reporting it, and with the assistance of @myro we have these details on a solution:

Try using the full path to the file before adding anything to the path. Try pasting this on a command line and see what you get (adjust to your workshop path):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2802508333\mods\APEXMAKER\PROCESS_MAPS.bat"

Originally posted by myro:
The file was renamed to .bat, but wasn't actually a batch file, still a txt file. For people having issues with the PROCESS_MAPS.bat file, actually MAKE SURE the file is a batch file. You can do this by clicking 'View' on your File Explorer, and making sure that the 'File name extensions' box is ticked. You'll probably see that the file's actually named 'PROCESS_MAPS.bat.txt'. Just properly rename it to 'PROCESS_MAPS.bat' and you should be good to go.

ANY Really Weird Problems with Project Zomboid?
Worst case do a complete fresh install....
For a clean install of the Steam version of Project Zomboid...
1) Make a Workshop Collection out of the mods you wish to use, then unsubscribe from all mods.
2) Uninstall Project Zomboid.
3) Delete the following folders and files manually:
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid (folder)
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\appworkshop_108600.acf (file)
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600 (folder)
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid (folder)
4) Exit Steam. Relaunch Steam.
5) Install Project Zomboid.
6) Re-subscribe to mods using your Workshop Collection.
7) Verify File Integrity of Project Zomboid.
8) Profit!
For a clean install of the GoG version of Project Zomboid...
1) Uninstall Project Zomboid
2) Delete the following folders and files manually:
  • C:\GoG\ProjectZomboid (folder) - OR wherever you have Project Zomboid installed.
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid (folder)
3) Install Project Zomboid
4) Copy the mods you wish to use into %USERPROFILE%\Zomboid\mods\
5) Profit!

This is what has always worked to fix screwy mod issues for us.
