Need a vbs script. that will run an exe but wait 30 minutes before ins

[clivebuckwheat]

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "c:\myprogram.exe" 

But How do I make it wait 30 minutes before running it?

Thanks for any help you can offer it would be great.

You should be able to use Sleep.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WScript.Sleep 30 * 60000
WshShell.Exec("C:\MyProgram.exe")

Where 30 is the number of minutes you desire.

thank you,

How does 30x60000 = 30 minutes, just trying to understand.

The sleep command uses milliseconds and there are 60000 milliseconds in one minute.
