When calling another process from within a batch file that you want to waiting merely add 'call' in front of it. I do this to utilize multiple batch files with one call.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using a batch file (or something else?) do deploy multiple MSI files. I am working through deploying our software for automated testing and appear to have encountered an issue that I am not quite sure what the best way is to solve. I need to deploy multiple MSI files, my initial thought was that I could do this with a batch file, but apparently, the process of running the MSI starts a new process and the batch file continues, so all of the installers after the first one fails. The order of install doesn't matter in my case. I was using PSExec to start the MSIs remotely (both directly and via a batch file). Anyone have any ideas as far as what the best way to do this would be? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
