I need to create a VBS script that runs this;



regsvr32 "c:\program files\my prog\mydll.dll" /s

Can anyone point me in the right direction, I've only ever been able to do
simple scripts before that point to BAT files to do what I need, in this
case though it wouldn't work so I actually need it in a VBS script that will
execute from a GPO.

Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Look at the WSH documentation for the Shell.Run method.

Thank you for the reply, but the link makes very little sense to me. I know
very little about VBS script, the only ones I've been able to get to work in
the past have been ones where I've found examples in the net which I can
easily modify.

Can you give me an example of how this script should look?

Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cmd = "regsvr32 ""c:\program files\my prog\mydll.dll"" /s"
WshShell.Run cmd, 1, true
