Pause for one App install before running second EXE

[redlair]

Hello, I have another simple question, which has been haunting me. I am using the WshShell.Run command in a script to install three small applications. The script works great except that all three installs are running at the same time. How can I get the script to pause and wait for the previous install to end. I know it must be something simple.

Here is an example of the script:
-----------------------------------------------------------

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "InsatllFiles\updateX.exe"

WshShell.Run "InsatllFiles\updateY.exe"

WshShell.Run "InsatllFiles\updateZ.exe"


MsgBox("Update are complete.")

WshShell.Run "InsatllFiles\updateX.exe", 1, True
WshShell.Run "InsatllFiles\updateY.exe", 1, True
WshShell.Run "InsatllFiles\updateZ.exe", 1, True
MsgBox "Update are complete."

Hope This Helps, PH.

That will work unless the setup is wrapping another executable or MSI in which case the second process that is kicked off may still be running when the initiating process ends.
