Hello, I am trying to run the following code in shell

j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn IEXPLORER=1
ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=1 /L C:\jre.log"

and detect when the install is finished. I write a code as following.

Private Type STARTUPINFO
cb As Long
lpReserved As String
lpDesktop As String
lpTitle As String
dwX As Long
dwY As Long
dwXSize As Long
dwYSize As Long
dwXCountChars As Long
dwYCountChars As Long
dwFillAttribute As Long
dwFlags As Long
wShowWindow As Integer
cbReserved2 As Integer
lpReserved2 As Long
hStdInput As Long
hStdOutput As Long
hStdError As Long
End Type

Private Type PROCESS_INFORMATION
hProcess As Long
hThread As Long
dwProcessID As Long
dwThreadID As Long
End Type

Private Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "kernel32" (ByVal _
hHandle As Long, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function CreateProcessA Lib "kernel32" (ByVal _
lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpCommandLine As String, ByVal _
lpProcessAttributes As Long, ByVal lpThreadAttributes As Long, _
ByVal bInheritHandles As Long, ByVal dwCreationFlags As Long, _
ByVal lpEnvironment As Long, ByVal lpCurrentDirectory As String, _
lpStartupInfo As STARTUPINFO, lpProcessInformation As _
PROCESS_INFORMATION) As Long

Private Declare Function CloseHandle Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal hObject As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function GetExitCodeProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal hProcess As Long, lpExitCode As Long) As Long

Private Const NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS = &H20&
Private Const INFINITE = -1&

Public Function ExecCmd(cmdline$) As Long
Dim proc As PROCESS_INFORMATION
Dim start As STARTUPINFO
Dim ret&
' Initialize the STARTUPINFO structure:
start.cb = Len(start)
' Start the shelled application:
ret& = CreateProcessA(vbNullString, cmdline$, 0&, 0&, 1&, _
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, 0&, vbNullString, start, proc)
' Wait for the shelled application to finish:
ret& = WaitForSingleObject(proc.hProcess, INFINITE)
Call GetExitCodeProcess(proc.hProcess, ret&)
Call CloseHandle(proc.hThread)
Call CloseHandle(proc.hProcess)
ExecCmd = ret&
End Function

Private Sub install_JRE()
Dim retval As Long
Dim commandStr As String
Shell "jre_Install.bat"
commandStr = "j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v ""/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=1 /L C:\jre.log"""
MsgBox commandStr
retval = ExecCmd(commandStr)
MsgBox "Process Finished, Exit Code " & retval
End Sub

but it didn't work.
