VB Script help

Hi Guys, I would really appriciate your help. I have a dos batch file that does this

cd folder\folder1\folder2\install.exe command line switches

cd ..

So it runs the exe from that folder then after runing goes one step back to parent folder. Can some one write a VBSCRIPT for it. Thanks

GAKIS' answer should do the trick for you. If not,

Option Explicit
Dim wshShell
On Error Resume Next
   Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell")
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      Wscript.Quit
   End If
   wshShell.Run  "cmd.exe /C cd folderpath\install.exe"

    wshShell.Run  "cmd.exe /C cd newfolderpath"

On Error Goto 0

may also do the trick. It does the same thing through cmd so you could tweak it to view the process if you wanted.
