Sleep command don't work

[aclandor]

This is a part of a scritp .CMD:

copy d:\files\setup.exe c:\temp\setup.exe

start c:\temp\setup.exe /s

(I need a delay here)

del c:\temp\setup.exe

reg delete (the path here...)

========

I need this delay because when it goes to delete the setup.exe in the temp dir and the reg of the software, the setup is in execution! The command lines don't find the path of the reg because he is not created in the moment (the seput is running).

And the sleep command don't run: sleep' is not recognized as an internal or external command.operable program or batch file

You could try this

ping 127.0.0.1 /n 2 > NUL

Where 2 = a number of times to ping. Bit cheap but it works

Alternatively you could remove the start from "start c:\temp\setup.exe /s"

That way the batch script won't continue until setup.exe has finished

Have you thought about changing the script to use an appropriate switch with the Start Command

copy d:\files\setup.exe c:\temp
start "" /wait c:\temp\setup.exe /s
del c:\temp\setup.exe
reg delete (the path here...)

Using /wait will mean that the delete command will not be invoked until the setup has completed.

Yzöwl is right, even

start /w "" "c:\my program\setup.exe" /s

will okay
