cond,
First of all, have you tried different combinations of '-s -a /REMOVE /s' from a DOS prompt rather than from KiX? It may just be the way you're doing the SHELL line. I prefer to compose the line in a var first.
$ShellCMD = Chr(34) + $WorkDir + "\symcdefsx86.exe" + Chr(34) + " /q /extract /vdb " + $TempDir
Shell '$ShellCMD'
If you want to SetFocus() and SendKeys() then you need to use RUN and not SHELL. A search on the board should give you plenty of examples.
