Just Replace "commandname" with the path and exe that you want to run, and replace /a /b /c with any command line switches that you have.

dim wsh
set wsh = createobject("WScript.Shell")
 
wsh.Run "commandname /a /b /c", 0, 1
dim wsh
set wsh = createobject("WScript.Shell")

wsh.Run "commandname /a /b /c", 0, 1
