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
    zur�ck. 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,
