[M3devel] more info on ticket 1082 wrt start /wait

[Coleburn, Randy]

Ok, I've done a bit more testing.

I don't think the problem has to do with "START /WAIT ..." but rather it seems to be a difference in Windows Internet Explorer.

When your browser is set to FIREFOX instead of IE, the "START /WAIT firefox.exe" command works fine, so you can keep the "return TRUE" in the CM3_IDE.cfg file.

But, when using IE8, the "START /WAIT iexplorer.exe" command does not wait for IE8 to terminate and returns immediately, thus the "return TRUE" in CM3_IDE.cfg must be changed to "return FALSE" to prevent immediate shutdown of CM3IDE.

If I go to a Windows 2000 box running IE6, the "START /WAIT" again seems to wait for IE to terminate.  I haven't tested yet with IE7 to see if it behaves correctly or not.

So for now, folks may want to use FireFox instead of IE with CM3IDE.

Regards,
Randy
