shell is a command, thus loose the parens.
the setup has it's own switches and you should check out if it has wait switch.
if not, then need to try some other methods.
as why the shell does not pause the execution.
it does.
but the setup.exe spawns a new process that does the actual installation and then dies.
thus, kixtart's shell is happy and continues.
