Checking program execution using .BAT

Question

How can I check if a particular program is running?

I'm trying to make a script that automatically launches a series of .exe (specifically the installer and a number of fixes).

So far I could get them to work at the same time, but this is clearly not what I want.

How can I get them to run each after completion?

I've looked at a few already posted, but I haven't been able to modify them to suit my needs.

Run exe with bat using this syntax

start /wait foo.exe

to wait for the executable to execute before continuing in the bat file.

Could you please indicate which method you are using to launch programs? There is more than one.

For example, if you are using START, there is a / WAIT switch that takes care of waiting.
