I have a batch file to run an exe silently. It does work but as soon as it starts, other jobs start installing which delays the first one from completing almost until all other jobs finish.
I am using
start "" "C:\path to exe" /silent /wait and also tried
start /wait "" "C:\path to exe /silent
Nothing makes MDT wait for this install to complete before going on. I'm sure there is a better syntax if
anyone has better thoughts.

That id one of the methods i tried..
Start /wait "pathtoexe" /silent.
It starts running and every other job one by one run over this. Jobs not within this same batch file.
The command parameters should related to application's behavior, we just give some advice for you to try.
If your path does not contain a space, you may try:
start /wait Path\setup.exe /silent /w
If your path contains a space, you may try:
start "" /wait "Path\setup.exe" /silent /w
