Look, if you want to launch obs from command line, you need 2 commands:
If current drive letter not "C:" then you need to change drive first (3 steps).
- cd full_path_to_the_obs_exe_directory
- full_path_to_the_obs_exe (or just name of the file, because current dir was set at #1)
Code:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit"
obs32.exeIf current drive letter not "C:" then you need to change drive first (3 steps).
Code:
c:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit"
obs32.exeBut I use a razor mouse death adder elite and wants to Launch obs 64 bits with macros when it launch program says but need link for obs to launch but it says can't find locale? What's the command pls help

I keep insisting that it's a bug that the program can't find its files if you launch it without a working path. Like every other program on your computer.
And the maintainers keep saying that it's not. It drove me crazy a long time ago, and now I've just given up.
The error message is so weird that no normal user will understand what's wrong. It just says it can't find files. It's so obscure.
It cannot possibly be intended that you have to create a .bat file in order to start the application. (or a windows shortcut)
To me, that's like having a button that makes the program crash and just telling people
"You need to hold down Ctrl before pressing the button. But that's not a bug, it's how how the code is written."[1]
What if you want to start it with a scheduled task? It's not possible without specifying the working directory - that you have to figure out yourself. The program won't tell you what's wrong.
What if you want to place the program in a registry run key? It's not possible without doing a workaround of a design feature that is not a bug.
What if you want to start it with a Logitech or Razer macro? It's not possible without doing a workaround of a design feature that is not a bug.
What if you want to start it with a script? It's not possible without doing a workaround of a design feature that is not a bug.
/End rant

Make the macro start cmd.exe with some additional arguments:
Or create a .cmd/.bat file that just does the start command.
Or start the windows shortcut (*.lnk) from your start-menu, or desktop.
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C START "" /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\" "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe"Or create a .cmd/.bat file that just does the start command.
Code:
START "" /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\" "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe"Or start the windows shortcut (*.lnk) from your start-menu, or desktop.
