Waiting for install to finish before returning?

?bWaitOnReturn?
Can someone help me modify my code?

I am using a script to install a few .exe applications silently and want my vb to wait until the previous install has completed before moving on to the next. Below is a snipet of what is sucessfully installing the app(s).


exeCwcInstall = "\\fsbes-01\software$\Caseware\Connector\2006\Setup.exe /s /f2c:\temp\CW" & CwcInstall & "_Install.log"
WSHShell.Run(exeCwcInstall)

Have you tried this ?
WSHShell.Run exeCwcInstall, , True

Hope This Helps, PH.

thanks that worked.

Can you tell me how to look for a Reg Key. I have code that will find the Value or Data but not just a Key itself.

I have a program that only has the (Default) value which my code will not find? I want to use it to confirm if it is installed and then remove it if it is but I need to check for this reg Key.

This is just a fragment of the full code for testing. The reg key I'm looking for is as follows
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CaseWare International\CaseWare Connector\2005.00.000]

On Error Resume Next
 
Dim Cw2005,Cwc2005,Cw2006,Cwc2006,CwInstall,CwcInstall,etc...
 
Set WshShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
scomputername = createobject("wscript.network").computername 

Cwc2005 = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CaseWare International\CaseWare Connector\2005.00.000"

'---Reading registry to see if CW2005 Connector is installed 
	err.clear

	WSHShell.RegRead(Cwc2005)
	 
	If Err Then
    		'Already been run, exit IF
    		WScript.Echo "CaseWare Connector 2005 Program not found" '---For Testing Only
    
	Else
    		'---Removing CwConnector2005
    		WScript.Echo "CaseWare Connector 2005 found, Un-install required" '---For Testing Only
    		WSHShell.Run exeCwcUninstall, , True

	End If


Set WSHSHell = Nothing
WScript.Quit

Try this:
Cwc2005 = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\CaseWare International\CaseWare Connector\2005.00.000[!]\[/!]"

I tried this and when it runs it is still running the IF statement. I thought maybe I have it backwards so for testing I deleted the "CaseWare Connector\2005.00.000\" key from the registry and it still is running the IF.

any suggestions?
