[JENKINS-16308] executing external C++ application through batch failure

I'm trying to execute a console application (created using Microsoft Visual C++) that enables to do signal measurements through a measurement equipment.

When the application is executed directly by batch under Windows (console), it does measurements and make results without any problem.

When the application is launched by Jenkins (execute Windows Batch Command), it executes simple C++ instructions such as "printf", but the instructions provided by VISA library is not recognized (got "failure: Error - A code library required by VISA could not be loaded" and execution is stopped)
