   echo off
   "C:\Program Files\XtractUniversal\xu.exe" %1
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 eventcreate /ID 1 /L APPLICATION /T INFORMATION /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "Extraction successfully executed"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1001 eventcreate /ID 101 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "An undefined error occured"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1002 eventcreate /ID 102 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "Could not find the specified file"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1013 eventcreate /ID 113 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "Invalid input data"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1014 eventcreate /ID 114 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "The number of arguments is invalid"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1015 eventcreate /ID 115 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "The parameter name is unknown"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1016 eventcreate /ID 116 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "The argument is not valid"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1053 eventcreate /ID 153 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "Something is wrong with your URL"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1087 eventcreate /ID 187 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "The parameter is invalid"
   IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 404 eventcreate /ID 404 /L APPLICATION /T ERROR /SO "XtractUniversal" /D "Extraction does not exist"
   

3. If you do not use the default folder for your Xtract Universal installation, change the following line to your installation path:

   "C:\Program Files\XtractUniversal\xu.exe" %1
   

4. Execute the following line with the name of the extraction as an argument in the windows command line:

   xubatch.bat -n MAKT
   

   

5. You can see the following event in the Event Viewer:
