Unable to use run program and have it wait

[Ron Wyman]

Hi All,

I have a setup.exe from globel360 (Imaging Professional) and I believe it was built using a 16bit version of an installshield some years ago. When I try running it with the "Run Program setup.exe /s (WAIT)" it runs silently but IA does not wait as I expect. Any insight to the causes would be very helpful.

Thanks
Ron

Installshield calls are instant, when you wait for the process, it just shells another process and returns. Unless you re-package it, you're kinda stuck with that.
