I have 2 problems, the most severe one is I have a batch script that installs oracle and a schema after the oracle installation is finished once I deploy the oracle installation with setup.exe -silent -resp etc... it pops up a new window and does its thing problem is, while it pops a new window, the rest of my batch script keeps on going instead of waiting for it to finish any ideas what to do about that? second problem, I have a cmd.exe opened, I updated the Path variable in another window (the environment variable) is there a way to reload %PATH% while I'm inside that old cmd.exe? I tried cmd /c and start /wait even a combination of them (for the first problem). Nothing worked. Any ideas?
