Answer 1

This is an old thread, but I have just encountered this situation and discovered a neat way around it. I was trying to run a setup.exe, but the focus was returning to the next line of the script without waiting for the setup.exe to finish. I tried the above solutions with no luck.

In the end, piping the command through more did the trick.

setup.exe {arguments} | more
