How to Run exe in background?

[Jackson0]

Hello,

how can I run a exe-file in background?

Example:

C1:%wpipath%\Install\Progs\Test.exe /S

C2: Sleep 15

C3: Taskkill Test.exe

Dosen't work, the WPI hangs in the first C1-Line and do not run to C2 Until I closed the Test.exe manually.

Regards

Jackson

Thats actually what WPI is supposed to do is wait for one command to finish before going on to the next one.

You could consider a simple commandfile for that section or a really easy auto-it file. (Like I have to do with limewire)

There is a way to do that, but it is not recommended. I have visions of people do it for multiple apps and the CPU gets bogged down to a crawl, WPI gets confused, 5 posts on forum for the same thing from people complaining, etc......

What are you running that you want WPI to continue on without it finishing first?

Normaly is wait to finish the command the right way, but some Apps ask for User input befor they ending.

For this Apps is a nowait command and a Taskkill the only solution...
