    Hello,

    I'm running a script on a host like :

     Invoke-Command -ComputerName MYHOST -FilePath "\\myshare\script.ps1"

    The script.ps1 should do stuff like :

    Start-Process -Wait -FilePath "$powershellpath\$filename" -ArgumentList "/quiet /norestart"

    But it seems that it doesn't wait and the parent process end the all operation.

    Any Idea ?

    THKS

    Start-Process does not wait.

    Start-Process -Wait

    will wait but not on most installers.
