Describe the current behavior

  • Install nmap with ndiff v7.94 on Windows 10 using the installer (in my case Window 10 German)
  • Open cmd.
  • Execute "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmap\ndiff.bat" FILE1 FILE2
  • Batch file fails with error: "\Nmap\ndiff.py" kann syntaktisch an dieser Stelle nicht verarbeitet werden.

Expected behavior

  • ndiff should start and find the diefferences between FILE1 and FILE2.

Maybe the issue arises because of the space characters in the installation folder.
As a workaround (or final solution?), I modified ndiff.bat, Line 15:

  • Old: echo Cannot run %PROG%
  • New: echo Cannot run "%PROG%"

This works for me.

By the way, it seems installing Python is a prerequisite for running ndiff. This is not clearly stated in the documentation.
