Script CameraRAW from Windows command prompt to apply edits (XMP) and export JPEG

Question

Is there a command line script I can execute in Windows (command line) that can have Camera RAW (Photoshop) load a RAW file with edit (XMP file) and then export it to a JPEG file?

I know you can batch process images but this usually requires it to be done from within Bridge or even Photoshop, but I’m looking for a way i can do it from the Windows command-line as I’m trying to find a way to do this so I can use it as part of a program (that would then use the exported JPEG file).

ACR is a plugin hosted by and requiring Bridge, Photoshop, or After Effects to actually process files. You can run scripts or use built-in commands to accomplish that by can’t bypass the host application.

Bridge and Photoshop can be scripted with Visual Basic as well as Extendscript and you should be able to use Powershell to run a VB script.
