How to wait for SETUP.EXE to finish
Is there a switch for Installshield SETUP.EXE to have it wait until the underlying .MSI is complete? I tried /sms but it didn't work, I think that is for non-MSI setups.

Extract from Macrovision KnowledgeBase :
/w : Wait
For a Basic MSI project, the /w argument forces Setup.exe to wait until the installation is complete before exiting.
If you are using the /w option in a batch file, you may want to precede the entire Setup.exe command-line argument with start /WAIT. A properly formatted example of this usage is as follows:
start /WAIT setup.exe /w

Don't know if this will help you - it does state that this is for Basic MSI projects ...
