timing an install, need to pause
Apologies is this is a no-brainer.
I have a file access issue going in my NSIS script.
I need to pause the install process for a second or two, to wait for another script to finish running. It doesn't require user-interaction. The script that needs to finish running is a VBScript, so ExecWait doesn't work. Is there a 'sleep' or 'pause' or 'wait' time command that I can use in the NSIS script?

Thanks.

Sleep is in the manual!

That sounds a long way from any best practice :)

Or to put it another way, "Sleep is for the weak".

Sleep is for code, coffee for coders? :-)

Thanks for the info. It was exactly the tidbit needed. I promise to read the manual more thoroughly in the future <insert various other well-intentioned New Years style resolutions>
