Multiple run program with xcopy and wait

Hi Kinook,

I am trying to copy one folder to different destinations in our network simultaneously. Below is what I did.

run program(xcopy) don't wait for completion - location 1
run program(xcopy) don't wait for completion - location 2
run program(xcopy) don't wait for completion - location 3
wait(%RUNPROGRAM_PROCESSID%)

Wait will always fail because it is only waiting for only one process to exit. How do I wait for ALL the run program to finish?

Is there a better way to do the copy of one source folder to multiple destination folder simultaneously?

Attached is the similar example that always fails.

Thanks in advance.

After each of the first two steps, you need to store that step's RUNPROGRAM_PROCESSID in another temporary macro, then wait on all 3 ids. See attached sample (Step Properties -> Script Editor).
