I wonder if the issue is trying to run the .vbs script, or trying to run a program as hidden from another program ?

 

If it just the general act of running a .vbs script , we could just a small program using activex and call almost the same commands  from within it. 

 

if the issue with vbs files is the various, potentially conflicting, non-standard security protocols,  is activex any better? I wasn't aware it was supported outside of a browser environment.

 

 

 

activeX/COM is available from almost anything windows.
