I tried a lot and searched the archive ... but nothing works.
The start command gave the hint (Win2K SP2 German):
    Wird eine grafische 32-Bit-Anwendung aufgerufen, wartet CMD.EXE nicht
auf
    das Beenden dieser Anwendung, sondern kehrt sofort zur
Eingabeauforderung
    zurück. Das gilt NICHT, wenn diese Anwendung aus einem Befehlsskript
    heraus aufgerufen wird.
Translation (by me):
    If a graphical 32-bit-application is called, CMD.EXE doesn´t wait for
    exiting of this application. It returns directly back to the shell.
    This is NOT the case, if the application is called by a command-script.


I think I have to wait for <spawn> ...

Not in a platform-independent way. There's ongoing discussion (work?) about
a <spawn> task that would allow that. On Win2K though, you could achieve it
with <exec vmlauncher="false"> and the start command. Look up the archives
for examples. --DD

Subject: Exec in a new process

Hi,

Is it possible to start a new process (e.g, open Internet Explorer) and
contiune without waiting for Internet Explorer to close?

Regards,
René Schade
