For personal reasons I need to install apps via VBS.

Here is a code sample from my srcipt.

CODE

'----START VARIABLES----
Dim StrWIMP
'----END VARIABLES----

Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

strWIMP = Chr(34) & """mp10setup.exe""" & Chr(34) & " /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore""
oShell.Run "%comspec% /c " & strWIMP, 1, true

Thus far, this has worked for all other software, but if you run that script, it gives an error about the " right after C: I assume the script host thinks I want to end that statement... or something....

Ideas? Thoughts?

Need to escape the internal double-quotes around setup_wm...SystemRestore

Try this
strWIMP = Chr(34) & """mp10setup.exe""" &
Chr(34) " /q:A /c:""setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore"""

CODE

strWIMP = "mp10setup.exe /q:A /c:""setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore"""
oShell.Run "%comspec% /c " & strWIMP, 1, true

CODE

strWIMP = "mp10setup.exe /q:A /c:" & chr(34) & "setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore" & chr(34)
oShell.Run "%comspec% /c " & strWIMP, 1, true

should work
