Vista - What is the executable associated with running VBScripts?

10-07-2008

I'd like to run VBScripts from the cygwin command line.

Executing the scipts from the cygwin command line fails out right.

But running the script would work fine if I knew what executable to
evoke to run a VBScript.

What is it?

Thanks.

You could look it up in the association registered for .vbs files. It's
wscript.exe or cscript.exe.

The Wscript host executes VBScripts in a GUI environment. The Cscript host
executes scripts in a console or command line environment. You can pass the
name of the VBScript program (with *.vbs extension) as a parameter to
either.
