It seems to be:
"Pauses execution in the installer for sleeptime_in_ms
milliseconds. sleeptime_in_ms can be a variable, i.e. "$0" or a
number, i.e. "666"."

What about trying something like
ExecShell "open" '"notepad.exe"' 0 SW_SHOWNORMAL
at least that will tell you that your Sleep has finished.

Does it give any error indication somehow, maybe in a log?

Do you have the ShellExtension properly set up in the registry? Have a
look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224816 and see whether the
registry settings are correctly set up on th computer you are using,
maybe they got messed up somehow, or maybe you don't have a browser
installed ;-)
