Wait for the shelled app to finish

I'm using CeCreateProcess to run a program that installs myApp.exe on my
Pocket PC. If myApp is already installed, a dialog box pops up asking if
you want to reinstall. Right after myApp.exe is installed, I want to use
CeDeleteFile to remove the icon associated with myApp (it's a hidden app
that the user is not supposed to see).

The problem is that CeDeleteFile fires before the myApp is installed.
How do I tell the program to wait for the shelled app to finish?

I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Are you sure the question is in any way related to the VB.NET language?

You can call WaitForSingleObject to wait the process ends.
