If the setup process automatically closes on the remote machine then you can use WMI with the win32_process class to check if setup.exe is a running process on the remote machine - assuming it is on a local network ( secure ) and also that the remote machine allows wmi through the firewall - as there were some security issues with wmi.<br />
<br />
Might also need elevated WMI connection which will include logon credentials which would if included in the vb script code be another security risk / thing ?<br />
<br />
Not being familiar with the deployment method you use am not sure if this would be a valid method to use.

I am vbscript illiterate, need help otherwise i can waste weeks figuring this out. Here is the problem. I am packaging a software. The problem is that the package shows complete in under status using Altiris deployment even though it is still running on the remote machine. I need the script to poll the setup.exe and send a statement back to me when the setup.exe completes. Any ideas..pointers....or better yet a script that does it for me.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Programming Languages-Other

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
