Two comments:
If $path contains a pathname with spaces in it then your path statement might break. It would be better to have the complete filename enclosed in double quotes to prevent this from possibly happening. This would be safe to use:
code:
Shell '"'+$path+'\swe\5.01 SP2\q319182.exe" exe /Q:A /R:N /N:V'
Secondly, yes, the SHELL command is supposed to wait for the shelled out command to finish before continuing as is documented in the manual. Unfortunately, I had a couple of instances where install routines consisted of multiple nested executables in which case the SHELL command failed to wait for the last executable to finish. It waited for the first one to finish. The 'START /MIN /WAIT' forces the shell command to wait independent of how many nested executables there are.
