Start a VBS script from within one

Hello all,
Currently I've got a batchfile which calls a number of VBScripts using
CSCRIPT. All the called VBScripts therefore echo their output into that one
console window.
What I like to do is to do the very same, but replacing the batchfile with a
"parent" VBScript.
The thing is, although there are several ways to do it (run, shell,
execute,etc) either the called script is dependand on its parent (sharing
variables with it), or a seperate command.com/cmd.com window is opened
(meaning the initial console does not get the scripts output anymore).
My question therefore is: is there a method which will start a VBScript as a
seperate process, but within the same command-console process the parent is
in.
Remark: I am not looking for convoluted ways (using intermediate files or
the like), as in that case I will just stick with the batchfile method
('cause its easy and stable).
Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I don't see a link to the original, but here is a link to a script derived
from Threadforker

This appears to be for a CPU intensive project.
This might be the original

Hello X22degg5,
Thanks for the reference. Yes, the Exec command would be, with some effort
(needing a wrapper to retrieve stdout and display it again in the current
console), usable on XP-and-above machines.
Alas, I've also got a W98se machine here on which I would like to run the
same, and it doesn't seem to know anything about that command. :-\
In other words: while I will definitily keep the Exec command in mind I will
still be looking for a (simple) solution which will work on both machines.
Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Check your WSH version. You may need to update to 5.6 version.

Hello Todd,

There still is such an update available for W98se ? I thought its support
has been dropped a long time ago.
Maybe I should just try to copy an XP version back to W98se and see if it
works. Hmmm...

I tried to find the same package on MS own website and found
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303107
Alas, following that link glands me on some a default page :
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx
So, any chance you can make yours available to me ?

Tom,
Please remember that most all MS software is copyrighted.
Any site allowing downloads of such software (even though its effectivily
orphaned) could get it into some very bad legal weather because of the
current IP laws ...
In other words: If anyone would upload it they will probably (have to)
directly remove it.
Also, the uploader of such copyrighted software would most likely violate
the copright laws of his own country ...
