Recursively execute command in all directories using Windows

Question

I'm trying to execute the executable pngout file to compress all images contained in a folder and its subfolder. I'm using a Windows 7 machine. I've tried with the following code:

for %i in (*.png) do pngout "%i" /kp
for /r /d %%x in (*) do (
    pushd "%%x"
    for %i in (*.png) do pngout "%i" /kp
    popd
)

However there is an issue as I get this error:
i" /kp Unexpected

However executing on a single line this command it works (on the current directory):

for %i in (*.png) do pngout "%i" /kp

Any pointers? Thanks!

Put your code in a batch file and change the %i terms to %%i
