Hi I wonder if anyone can help
I have used the runonceex method to install various applications
ie intel chipset software
network drivers installation package
ati catalyst control centre and drivers
etc

my problem is that upon each application running 'some times' it seems that the next application starts before the previous has completed.

or so i think!

this seems to happen with my chipset drivers which need a reboot to complete installation, the chipset drivers need to be fully installed before anything else is installed!

also
one of my applications stops and pops up a window asking for further input but the rest of the applications seem to carry on running

so my question is
1 is there a way to pause/stop execution of the next application until the previous application has completed

2 is there a way to use conditional syntax in the batch ie if something = yes the run the next application else skip it

my runonceex batch is listed below

You may consider using msiexec in your commands to execute your msi files.
e.g.

msiexec /i %PP%Folder\File.msi /qn

The registry would monitor the process id of msiexec for process close.

Please remove your posted Nero Serial!
And please use code tags in future [ CODE ] ... [ /CODE ] to wrap code, minus the spaces in the my displayed tags in this line.

just a test to check last comment

[\code]

oops wrong slash

First of all, you knew that you'd used the incorrect tags before you'd posted (no 'This post has been edited by')
Secondly, now you know how to do it, try fixing the post, as requested.
Thirdly, commented lines in NT batch scripting use :: not '

The numbering is off. The number for each install does not reflect the order of the statements in your file. You start at 1, then 10, then 3, and so forth.

Wasn't sure if this was tripping you up or not.
