Running vbscript from batch file

Question

I just need to write a simple batch file just to run a vbscript. Both the vbscript and the batch file are in the same folder and is in the SysWOW64 directory as the vbscript can

Answer 1

Batch files are processed row by row and terminate whenever you call an executable directly.
- To make the batch file wait for the process to terminate and continue, put call in front of it.
- To make the batch file continue without waiting, put start "" in front of it.

I recommend using this single line script to accomplish your goal:

@call cscript "%~dp0necdaily.vbs"

(because this is a single line, you can use @ instead of @echo off)

If you believe your script can only be called from the SysWOW64 versions of cmd.exe, you might try:

@%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c call cscript "%~dp0necdaily.vbs"

If you need the window to remain, you can replace /c with /k
