AUto unzip .vbs task 2003 sever
I created a batch file .vbs to run the below posted script. It is not working any clues
unzip -do "C:\Documents and Settings\main\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AD2JQOZH
unzip -do "C:\Documents and Settings\main\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AD2JQOZH
One more thing... I don't see any "-do" switch in UnZip.exe help. I think it should be only "-o" that is overwrite files WITHOUT prompting.

Renamed the file to a .cmd. Can you please explain the diffrence between .cmd, .bat and .vbs please. When I run the script dos opens up and diplays the script endless in the dos window. What do I have wroung here
unzip -o "C:\Documents and Settings\root\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AD2JQOZH
unzip -o "C:\Documents and Settings\root\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AD2JQOZH
Both .cmd and .bat are DOS scripts they can include Windows internal & external commands. BAT extensions are executed in a 16bit VDM (mean executed by the old 16-bit command processor) while .CMD extensions are executed in a 32bit (executed by the new 32-bit cmd processor) VDM. This has implications for scripts that may need to access shared memory from other processes or applications.
(The CMD extension is limited to newer Windows systems and is not recognized in Windows 9x/Me systems.)
The batch files (.cmd or .bat) are relatively simple to follow, but the VBScript files require some explanation to understand how they work together. If you already know Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Applications, VBScript will be very familiar. Even if you don't know Visual Basic, once you learn VBScript, you're on your way to programming with the whole family of Visual Basic languages.
:: Unzip does not process files with special characters (like [ ]).
:: Unzip also dislikes long path
:: So first make Temp folder on C: drive
:: Try this:
Copy /Y "C:\Documents and Settings\root\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AD2JQOZH
UnZip.exe -o "C:\Temp\s_data.zip" -d "C:\MLSDATA\"
Hope this helps!
