Hi,

Quick question for somebody to answer if possible. I am running a couple of
commands using vbscript and Implementing the wscript.shell framework. I have
managed to control a 'wscript.shell.exec' program call command by using the
following elements and it works a treat as it ensures that it completes
before moving to the next (how simple!!);

set oexec = wshshell.Exec(execcommand)
do while oexec.status =0
wscript.sleep(1000)
Loop

However I have the following 'wscript.shell.regwrite' command that I am
trying to control also;

regloc = """HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Synctoy\FirsttimeUser"", ""1"",
""REG_DWORD"""
set oexecreg = wshshell.RegWrite(regloc)
Do while oexecreg.status =0
wscript.sleep(1000)
Loop

Change your regloc line to this:
regloc = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Synctoy\FirsttimeUser", 1, "REG_DWORD"

I think you have it right, just don't put "s around your 1, putting the 1 in
"s makes the value you are putting a string, not a integer like DWORD wants.

Thanks Allan,

That worked a treat! I have found that with vbscript, you have to be very
accurate with the placement of "s. Lesson learned,

Thanks once again,
