Install python from command line and wait till finished

Question

The docs have this command: pythoninstall.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1

But that just kicks off a background process, I want to script this and run other commands after the install is finished. How can run this as a background process?

Edit: wound up using PS: Start-Process <path to exe> -NoNewWindow -Wait

Answer 1

You can use START /WAIT like this:

$ START /WAIT pythoninstall.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1
