How to set delay in vbscript

Question

How to set delay in vbscript?

WScript.Sleep(100) does not work on Windows XP, Vista.

Answer 1

If you're trying to simulate a sleep delay in VBScript but WScript is not available (eg: your script is called from Microsoft's BGInfo tool), then try the following approach.

The example below will delay until 10 seconds from the moment the instruction is processed:

Dim dteWait
dteWait = DateAdd("s", 10, Now())
Do Until (Now() > dteWait)
Loop
