Isn't the path separator "$/$", not "$\$"?

It doesn't matter $/$ or $\$.

I think you should be using execute target file instead of executing batch/script. Or put in a call if on Windows before your execution. Or you need a

cmd /c "USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$raja.bat"

The text in the Execute Batch/Script action is the script.

If raja.bat is an installed file you could use Execute Target action instead.

Does it try to execute? Run the installer in debug mode and see what happens when it gets to this point in the install.

.bat files should execute when you double click on them. I was wondering if when running the installer in debug mode if you see the installer try to execute the batch file.
