Old VBS Scripts for download

Back to VBS Notes

This is a collection of VBS scripts I've written at some point or another for reasons that probably escape me. Even worse, these are mostly the first drafts, so to speak, 'cause I don't go out of my way to keep this updated. Think "Sample code for me to remember how to do this next time it comes up" more than "this works".

Script: Setup.zip (Archive contains project files)
Purpose: Quick and dirty visual basic program to install downloaded microsoft updates and service packs for Office 97 by clicking on a button for the update you want to install.
Demonstrates: How to run an external executable from a visual basic program
 
Script: goleta6.txt (Change file extension to "vbs" to execute)
Purpose: To remember how to use windows scripting host and to fire up applications on a server that wouldn't run as a service using sendkeys.
Demonstrates: How to execute an external program and use sendkeys to simulate keyboard input
