install application in vm after deploying from template

$

As part of my deploy/clone workflow I want to install antivirus. I'm planning to put the install files on the HD and just call a batch file which runs what I need (and then delete the folder when done).

 

Since vCO appears to run programs in the guest OS without waiting for it to return control, I'm not sure how to determine when the install is done (the command line stuff i was given to install the AV software closes after it starts the background install anyway).

 

I can't use checking for a running process to know when this install is done unfortunately, but rather, I can check the registry for a specific key.

 

The best I can think of it to call a script/batch file and make it loop until it find the needed key then exists ,but how do I make vCO stay in it's working until the process is done?

 

Is anyone has any better ideas, please share as I'm not quite sure how to best handle this.

 

Thanks
