Full of problems today :) help with CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

[WilliamUT]

Im trying to make my shell wait until an applications is done running. i thought there was a command called .bwaitonreturn=true but my script doesnt seem to like that :

Function InstallApp(Path) 'this shells and runs an application (our executables)
Dim WshShell

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot


On Error Resume Next

wshshell.bWaitOnReturn = true
WshShell.Run Path

if err.number <> 0 THEN
msgbox &quot;There was an error running a command.&quot; & vbcrlf & _
&quot;Error : &quot; & err.number & vbcrlf & _
&quot;Description : &quot; & err.description & vbcrlf & _
&quot;Command : &quot; & Path, vbcritical, &quot;Error&quot;
oform.hide
oform = nothing
wscript.quit
end if


end function


how do i get my script to take a break and wait until the application is closed?

WshShell.Run <path>,<windowmode>,<waitonreturn>

WilliamUT,

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
Return = WshShell.Run(&quot;notepad &quot; & WScript.ScriptFullName, 1, true)

true allows it to wait unti execution is done.
