Remarks
After running the requested program the script pauses until the program terminates. To run a program and then immediately continue script execution use the Run function instead.
Some programs will appear to return immediately even though they are still running; these programs spawn another process - you may be able to use the ProcessWaitClose function to handle these cases.
The error property is set to 1 as an indication of failure.
