I am setting up programs with vbscript, and i have already got my sendkeys setup. One of the programs the i am installing this way takes up to 5 mins on some pc's for the setup to begin. Until that time, the app name is install or setup or something, but when it does continue on, the name becomes "Symforms Install". Is there something i can use like:

If Exist wshshell.AppName "SymForm Setup"
then WshShell.AppActivate "SymForm Setup"
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 10000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
else loop

or the correct way?

The following code should provide a pause until the setup begins.
'*****************************************************************
Do Until Success = True
Success = objShell.AppActivate ("SymForm Setup")
WScript.Sleep 250
Loop
'*****************************************************************

Hope this helps,
Jay
