vbScript LaunchAppAndWait?
Is there a vbscript alternative for Installscript's LaunchAppAndWait? If not, are there any examples of how to launch an external program from vbscript in my install, and wait until execution finished before continuing?
Thanks,
Mike

It is my understanding that the LaunchAppAndWait call either the CreateProcess or ShellExecuteEx Window's API functions, which is exactly what your VBScript will do.
Are you experiencing an issue with the LaunchAppAndWait function?

If project is basic msi or installscript msi, custom action to execute exe can be used. Even vb script is not required.

Hi,
you can use the command vbsript
this function return the id of the process who is run !
with a little coding a while for exemple you can check if the process run or not.

There is some sample on internet.
