The application is 32 bit running in Windows 3.1 with Win32s version 120.
We can't really support Win32S.
RunWait will fail if your WinBatch version does not match your Windows Environment. For example, the RunWait command from 16 bit WinBatch will not run under Windows 95 or NT. Therefore the 16 bit version of WinBatch can Runwait 16 bit applications, and the 32 bit version of WinBatch can runwait 32 bit applications only. The 16 bit WinBatch (on a Win95/NT system) will not Wait on a 32 bit application because it can barely even see it. We recommend 16 bit WinBatch for Windows 3.x and Windows for Workgroups (with or without Win32S). Behavior with a 32 bit app running under Win32S is undefined.
Use 32 Bit WinBatch for Win95/NT.
16 bit WinBatch can run and do *a lot* of stuff in a Win95/NT environment - but not everything. No RunWait on 32 bit apps. No long file names. Bad multitasking.
You may wish to investigate the WinWaitClose function. It can wait based on a Window rather than an EXE.
