Does start/wait still work in Windows 7?

[clivebuckwheat]

I have some scripts that the timing is crucial, that they finish before the next line is executed. How else would I accomplish waiting for a command to finish before moving onto the next command, if not by using start/wait. The two commands I have to wait for is the Office 2010 and Windows 7 Activation.

If you have better activation scripts please share the knowledge.

Hello,

You mean the Start /wait command in a .cmd or bat file?

Yes it still works, I'm using it every day.

In fact I use one bat file with this command for every Windows version from XP until server 2008R2.

As for your other question, keep in mind that Windows 7 Enterprise is the same as Ultimate. Activation depends, are they OEM or separate bought licenses?

Office activation for a large company can be done by means of a MAK key. I believe that an Internet connection is necessary to activate.

Anyway for detailed information you might be better of asking a Microsoft specialist.

Cheers.

Hello,

Yes it will work, providing that the script is executed with admin privileges.

Cheers!
