Uninstall MSI with wait
I am trying to make a vbscript uninstall a .msi and wait for the uninstall to complete before continuing to the next line. I am using the below code, the last part ,7,True should make it wait but doesn't seem to work, am I missing something?
msiexec = C:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /x " & msiname & " /QN"
addwait = ",7,True"
msiexecwithwait = msiexec & addwait
Shell.Run (msiexecwithwait)
***************
Fixed.... it needed to be;
msiexec = C:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /x " & msiname & " /QN"
Shell.Run (msiexec), 7, true
msiexec = C:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /x " & msiname & " /QN"
addwait = ",7,True"
msiexecwithwait = msiexec & addwait
Shell.Run (msiexecwithwait)

You should check the return code too - so you know whether the install succeeded or whether a reboot might be required, etc.
