There's no reason why you couldn't do this via vb / WSH ( you would have to use WSH exposed stuff, for the environment variables, and to run an executable ). What sort of things are you struggling with? To be perfectly honest, though, I can't see the advantage of doing it via vb / WSH, compared with a CMD file - for this sort of thing isn't a CMD file most optimal? (unless you're considering something like encoding the script to kinda make it unreadable...)
