I have downloaded the zip file from this page.
It contains a KNIME workflow and the KNIME GUI version 4.5.
I installed KNIME and set the workspace to .\knime_4.5.1\knime-workspace so that I can see that the workflow has been properly loaded.
In the page the author said
"The workflow can also be executed in batch mode using the command line:
[knime path]\knime -reset -nosplash -nosave -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowDir="[knime path]\knime-workspace\QSAR-ready_2.5.8" -workflow.varaiable=cmd_input,"[input path]\inputfile",String"
First I noticed that there is a typo in -workflow.varaiable and I changed it to -workflow.variable.
I used absolute path that start with C:\...
when I run the command I get this error message

Things that I tried
- To better understand where is the error I tried executing the command starting from the simplest form and adding step by step more info. I can run
C:\...\knime_4.5.1\knime -reset -nosplash -nosave -applicationjust fine, but if I addorg.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATIONI get the same error
