Help with pausing a script

[HockeyFan]

Help!!

I have a script that launches a program which first extracts the files and then runs the main install program...(Windows XP SP2). I want to first verify that the extraction process wnidows is active and then pause the script while the program install window is active. Right now, my script works except for when the install program finishes. At that time, the script just seems to stop.

Can someone tell what is going on, why it stops after XPSP2 finishes, and possible provide a better way of doing this?

;Run Windows XP SP2
Run("XPSP2.exe /passive /norestart /o /f", "C:\Windows\Temp\XPSP2", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Sleep(1000)
$Extract = WinExists("Extracting Files", "")
Do
    If $Extract = 0 Then
        Sleep(1000)
    EndIf
Until $Extract = 1
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "")
;Disable the Cancel (2) and  Help (9) buttons during SP2 installation.
ControlDisable("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "Cancel", 2)
ControlDisable("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "Help", 9)
$Active = WinExists("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "")
Do
    If $Active = 1 Then
        Sleep(1000)
    EndIf
Until $Active = 0
RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\LaunchSP2Reg.exe","",@SW_HIDE)
;Restart copmuter

Thanks!

might try something like:

;Run Windows XP SP2
Run("XPSP2.exe /passive /norestart /o /f", "C:\Windows\Temp\XPSP2", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
WinWait("Extracting Files", "")
While WinExists("Extracting Files", "")
      Sleep(1000)
WEnd
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "")
;Disable the Cancel (2) and  Help (9) buttons during SP2 installation.
ControlDisable("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "Cancel", 2)
ControlDisable("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "Help", 9)
While WinExists("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "")
      Sleep(1000)
WEnd
RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\LaunchSP2Reg.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
;Restart copmuter

Instead

$Active = WinExists("Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard", "")

Do

    If $Active = 1 Then

        Sleep(1000)

    EndIf

Until $Active = 0

try

WinWaitClose ( "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup Wizard" , "" )

Instead

try

I think I tried this at one point, but for some reason it didn't work. Probably just an error in my script. I will try it agian just to make sure.

Thanks!
