wait for app setup to finish

[HyperT]

hey all, I'm testing out an unattended installation of vs.net 2003 and have run into a problem:

both 'start /wait' and 'runonceex' do not wait until setup is finished

is there a program that pauses batch execution until a certain process (setup.exe) finishes

is there another solution

any help much appreciated

In such cases I make a loop in the command script that will sleep X seconds a Y number of times, or until a specific file can be found, such as the shortcuts for the program being installed. I'm not sure how to make it process dependednt, but there is always a way ...

Auto IT is a simple scripting language like VB that could handle this fairly easy. May be easier methods but just a suggestion.

Look at sleep.exe from the server 2003 reskit tools, which is a free 13 meg download. www.microsoft.com/reskit
