SUMMARY
Service Pack 1 of Systems Management Server 2.0 Installer has an additional Sleep script item that can be used to pause the installation program for a specified length of time.

Use the Sleep action to temporarily halt the setup program. You can temporarily halt the Setup program to allow time for other processes to end before proceeding. For example, you should temporarily halt the Setup program if an external executable file that is being called from the Setup program calls another executable file, then returns without waiting for the second executable process to end.

NOTE: The time that the Setup program will pause is in milliseconds. For example, enter 2000 milliseconds to temporarily halt the Setup program for two seconds. Do not use a comma or other non-numeric characters.

STATUS


MORE INFORMATION
This functionality is included in versions of Systems Management Server Installer 2.0.80.00 and higher.
