I think you have to set your BIRT_HOME with the birt runtime folder, not the reportEngine folder. If you run your batch with Windows in a .bat, be careful to use a short path. In my case i have put the runtime just under the disk root:

Set BIRT_HOME=D:\birt
%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\genReport.bat -runrender -o "%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\samples\output.html" -f html "%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\samples\hello_world.rptDesign"

May be i was not clear in my first answer, but i think you must NOT set it to the reportEngine, but to its parent folder, so in your case it could be C:\birt-runtime-2_6_2\birt-runtime-2_6_2

You could use -p option in your command line:

genReport.bat -p "myParamName1=myParamValue1" -p "myParamName2=myParamValue2" -f PDF -o output.pdf -F sample.rptdesign

Tried that but that doesnt work.. first parameter works fine but the next ones are no recognized...

Here is my command:

genReport.bat -o sample.pdf -f PDF -p "date=1800-01-01" -p "secSymbl=TFCCP" -p "secSymb2=TFTDP" -p "secSymb3=TFINP" -p "actID=01119S" -p "fromDate=11" -p "toDate=333" SampleReport.rptdesign

That should work, how you have it. You're not getting any errors? The report is just running with only one parameter set?
