Folks,

I'm a newbie so I ask for your patience firstly.

I'm trying to create a script that will check for a folder, if it doesn't exist run an install, sleep and loop until it has finished Then Echo "Finished".

There's a lot more I've done that works, but I can't get the sleep to work - Any Ideas?

Option Explicit
Dim WshFS, WshShell, oExec

Dim strSourcePath

'On Error Resume Next

Set WshFS = WScript.CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strSourcePath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - Len(WScript.ScriptName))

If Not WshFS.FolderExists("c:\program files\Early Years Maths Pack") Then
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec (strSourcePath & "Maths\setup1.exe /s")
Do While oExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

Wscript.Echo "Finished"

End If

How do you know the sleep is not working? Are you sure the executable is being executed? Maybe try something simple like this to see f your script is even reaching the Do...Loop

Do While oExec.Status = 0
WScript.Echo Now()
WScript.Sleep 1000
Loop
