    So I have a batch script that runs in the old 1980's Atari looking dos style that is ok for my personal use, but I am trying to put something together for others (that may be 99.75% just use what is in front of them) to use.  It is 99.9% working, just one single "no"  at the end throws the script into a fit.  For me it is all yeses so I don't have an issue with it.  The DOS style script I don't have an issue with either.

    99.9% working script in .bat as a cmd project

    The questions fly. I use install forge to create everything.

    First issue

    :In DOS there is 2 options (Yy/Nn) and if anything pressed other than these, it just goes to next.

    For now, I have it set to unpack everything to desktop (only for testing purposes only) but will set it to unpack to either %temp% or %program files% later once testing is complete

    Next Issue

    :What does work in vbs.

    Start with instructions.

    Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

intMessage = Msgbox("Instructions.", _
    vbOKOnly, "Title location")

    Launch a picture and then close (Issue with it that I am not happy with) as .vbs.

    Dim oShell : Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run ""C:\Users\Public\Desktop\extra content\extra content stuff that gets deleted later\picture to show.jpg"""
WScript.Sleep 10000

    Which has a DOS quick show of a taskkill that i would like to not show up at all.

    :Next, I have this that runs as .vbs.

    Set sshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sshShell.Run """C:\Users\Public\Desktop\extra content\extra content stuff that gets deleted later\example 1.name of extension"""
sshShell.Run """C:\Users\Public\Desktop\extra content\extra content stuff that gets deleted later\example 2.name of extension"""

    'may contain one extension, or up to 10 extensions
    Set objShell = Nothing

    Which is kind of ok.  What it does, it launches the app that the extensions are meant for, but it doesn't wait.  How it is ok, It opens the app the extension is for and installs all at once, which is fine, each has a popup box that says "installed" with an "OK" button.  But it doesn't wait.  (how do I know which "ok" button I push will start the next vbs before all have been pushed)  What isn't ok, it runs each extension one by one and closes.  This will cause the app to start, install extension, close, and then start again for next extension.  So what this does works fine (as far as the grand scheme I am trying to accomplish).

    Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

intMessage = Msgbox("Would you like to go to install?", _
    vbYesNo, "Testing this.")

If intMessage = vbYes Then
    objShell.Run("what to install .vbs")

'I need this to wait (as stated above, starts the extensions to install wether it is one or 10, launch the app it is for and wait till all options have been clicked "OK" (which hasn't been figured yet)
Else
    objShell.Run """GOTO NEXT STEP IN INSTALL"""
End If


    Also i have a bat script that searches and destroys while running the said script above.  (So there is no worry about "Uninstall" and to delete the installer)  there are 2 reasons for this.  Delete extra content

    Now, I have googled running vbscript and google just doesn't get it.

    There is a deference between running a vbs script, and a vbsript that keeps running.

    What I am looking for

    A vbs script that does instructions (which I have), after ok has been hit, continues.  I can make a script that runs all processes just fine, I just havent figured how to make a "running script" (do script "A", wait for response, do script "B", if in script either run different vbscript and wait or go to next.

    So, yeah.  Help needed. First running script "one process to the next while waiting" not "double click to run" and what I haven't asked for "roboCopy" that is silent, and search and delete. Which is as follows in a batch file.

    @echo off
echo Spring cleaning things from (program that add ons are for).
echo This will close itself.
start "" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Install extras.bat" (The bat file that does all install options)
For /F "tokens=*" %%I in ('Dir c:\"program I created from install forge.exe" /s /b') do set FOUND="%%~fI"
del %FOUND% (Deletes the .exe file that did the install)
del %0 (Deletes itself)

    This will start the add on batch file, look for the add on (install forge).exe no matter where they put it, start the crappy Atari style DOS installer, and then self delete once it has found the .exe file it is looking for.

    End result in order:

    • Install forge puts all files in either temp file or program files (I can make delete later)
    • Launching from Install forge starts Install first, search and destroy exe that created install and self deletes vbs.
    • That vbs launch the "RUNNING" vbs and have it run while the search and destroy runs in back ground.
    • Second vbs be a running script.   "Instructions" click ok and go to next.  Launch picture and taskkill without confermation or a DOS script that shows taskkill of any posible running tasks associated with a .jpg
    • Wait.  (this vbsript came with a popup, yes runs another vbscript that runs many instances but wait till they have all have been clicked as "OK" before continuing on to next task-vbscript) or contiue "IF ELSE"
    • I can figure out how to launch a .pdf but need a timeout before next .pdf starts, which will open the program they were meant to work with.  (program extensions meant for will close them all, as long as I can get a taskkill without confirmation working)
    • Keep the pdf files that were shown (robocopy folder with all to desktop) and self delete vbs.
    • Don't keep pdf files, delete everythig in temp folder or program folder (whichever location I choose during install) and self delete vbs.

    So this is my 99.9% working batch script part one.

    @echo off
echo Spring cleaning things from Blubeam Add On installer.
echo This will close itself.

    If the extra content file has been selected to not keep, the batch goes nuts, not enough memory to complete task error and doesn't self delete the batch file which on the desktop still.

    All files are located here.  https://support.bluebeam.com/revu-windows-2018/revu-extensions/ which require either winrar or 7zip.  Files must be downloaded as a zip file, extracted, run and deleted along with the original zip file they came from.  To save the "not so tech savvy folks from the heartache, all files have been downloaded and extracted.  All are in the exe file I am trying to create, and all of the extra junk downloaded will be deleted after the chosen install add ons have been installed with option to keep or delete https://support.bluebeam.com/revu-windows-2018/revu-extensions/#stamps in a single folder on the desktop.

    I use the software as well so a working install for me is needed.  But as stated above, selecting yes to all in an .exe/DOS install works fine.  It is the one "no" on keeping extra files that throws the dos into a tailspin.

    Actual vbsripts I have figured out
