I have this handy CMD that auto-installs the Visual Studio runtimes. It works ok, but I would like it to wait like 5 seconds between every installer. (NOT asking me to press a key, just wait 5 seconds after every install, then start the next package)

 

How can I do that?

 

Here's the code:

@echo off
color F1
title Microsoft Visual C 2005-2019 32-bit
goto start
:START
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2005
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 1 of 8
2005.exe /Q
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2008
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 2 of 8
2008.exe /qb
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2010
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 3 of 8
2010.exe /passive /norestart
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2012
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 4 of 8
2012.exe /passive /norestart
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2013
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 5 of 8
2013.exe /install /passive /norestart
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2015
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 6 of 8
2015.exe /install /passive /norestart
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2017
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 7 of 8
2017.exe /install /passive /norestart
cls
echo.
echo Installing Visual C 2019
echo ================== Dr. Schnellinger ==
echo.
echo Step 8 of 8
2019.exe /install /passive /norestart

Hi,

 

Add this line where you want to pause for 5 seconds

timeout /T 5

The default options is to wait the specified time or to accept any key to continue if you want to force the wait time use:

timeout /T 5 /NOBREAK

Nice. Thank you. Here's the code for anyone interested:
