Herman,
Did you really read the thread #738764 ? If you did and saying really WaitForSingleObject waits pls help me with details. I'm trying to make it work for a long time.

"CreateProcess or WScript is the prefer method to launch an app and wait" ???
What does CreateProcess offer for to wait ? I couldn't see such a parameter. AFAIK after CreateProcess you still need WaitForSingleObject.
WScript - Does it do it differently or is a wrapper to WinAPI calls ?
