🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fixes
Method 1: Use the `if errorlevel` command
- Step 1: Replace the `||` operator with an `if errorlevel` statement.

Method 2: Redirect output and error
- Step 1: Use the `2>&1` redirection operator to redirect both standard input/output and error streams.
Method 3: Disable batch file debugging
- Step 1: Add the `@echo off` command at the top of your batch file to disable batch file debugging.
