"Wit For Program to Finish" is not functional in AMS 4.0 Trial?

[datron]

I ma using the Trial version on AMS 4.0 while awaiting my paid version.
When I perform a File:Execute of a setup.exe (created in Installshield) and use the "Wait".... for the Program to finish running..." option, the project does NOT WAIT. It proceeds to the next two steps. This option has no effect.
Is this a bug? Is the Wait function negated if my setup routine genreates a dialog box (even though nothing is activated in the dialog box)?

It's quite common and even possible that the Installshield created setup.exe is a small "stub" program with data attached. In that event, AutoPlay Media Studio is actually waiting for the setup.exe to complete, but since that file is actually extracting and running another program, the setup.exe runs and finishes quite quickly.

There is certainly no problem with the action itself - it is not disabled in the trial. You might want to look into Installshield command line switches that would force the setup.exe to continue running while the subordinate processes complete. Setups created using Setup Factory 6.0 support this sort of operation.
