I am uninstalling a couple of differant software packages (in MSI form) over the network via altiris, and i am running into a problem where the second one is erroring out becuase the first on is not finished with its task.
My question is, can i put in a VBScirpt wait command after a dos command and have it work together.
Exm. of what im tryingto do.
(this is in the run script window now)
****Task 1****
REM **** Unistall Java JRE 1.5.0_6
C:\Windows\System32\MsiExec.exe /x {3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150060} /q
****task 2****
REM **** Uninstall SAV 9.0.0_338
C:\Windows\System32\MsiExec.exe /UNINSTALL {848AC794-8B81-440A-81AE-6474337DB527} /qn
So can i put the sleept script at the ocmpletion of the first task??
Exm.

It is 1/1000 of a second.

Are those commands being run from a batch file? If so you could use the sleep command.
Otherwise in VB script
WScript.Sleep 5000
This would sleep for 5 seconds. I think it's 1/1000 of a second

yes there being run from a batch file now. and im wscript.sleep (40000) (40 sec. sleep)
The sleep command didnt seem to be working for dos, maybe im using it wrong. but the script worked.
