how to execute a script by certain windows or domain account?

[Bishoy George]

Hi All,

I tried to execute a certain vb script file by a windows application to run
the script with certain windows or domain account.

I tried to do that by
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(fileName, userName, password, domain);

The problem is that I had the following exception: The specified executable
is not a valid Win32 application

Error Details:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was unhandled

You don't just pass the script file as the filename. The script file is processed
by a script engine. In windows, the engine is cscript.exe. Thus to execute
a script file called MyScript.vbs, you would use "cscript.exe myscript.vbs".
Watch your pathing if you are executing this in directories other than the
current operating directory.

Jim,

Anything that can be typed in the command prompt can be started using
Process.Start. In other word if there is proper file extention association
between *.vbs and the script engine then providing the file name to the vbs
file should be just enough.
