I have in the same folder a .bat and a .exe file.
I couldn't call the .exe file from the .bat unless I put the full absolute path to it.
Is there a way to don't specify the path?

A:
seems odd? I haven't worked on windows for sometime but
did you try leading with a ./
./program.exe
really should be no difference? maybe the bat is executing from the context of C:\Windows or did your batch do any cd to another dir at some point?

You meant .\ (that is, backslash).

I think that when I execute the batch it is being executed from another directory.

Maybe my question is "how to double click a batch file and make it execute in the same directory as it is?"

. is the current directory aka working directory and could be changed in a batch with cd and pushd.

A:
Try calling the .exe with %~dp0, like this: %~dp0MyProgram.exe.
%0 contains the full path to the called .bat file.
~dp says to get the drive and path, including trailing \.
