Tassos, this really works as expected!

In my case: "H:\Adobe\FrameMaker.15en\Adobe FrameMaker 2019\FrameMaker.exe" /f D:\Private\Familie\Klaus\Gesundheit\health-diagram.fm

I don't have an answer, but can can spare you one dead end. The FM7 printed manual has multiple pages on the FMbatch command line options for Unix, but nothing for Windows (or MacOS).
