You're right, I can just paste the vbscript in, but I get this error 
 
A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll 
Any Ideas?

Gave those and the other articles a try earlier with no luck. I've attached my script that runs just fine as a standard vbscript, I just want to incorporate it into a vb.net app. 
Any more ideas? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Can you step through it in the debugger to see which line fails 

</div>

<div>
Figured it out, In the end, you were right, Just &quot;wack&quot; it in and it worked. 
Thanks.

I've written several vbscript files to install a network printer on my client's machines. Well, since I have multiple scripts, I'm trying to consolidate them into one program that will allow a user to just select the printer they want to use and click install and have the script run. My problem is I don't quite know how to implement vbscript in vb.net. (I'm using visual studio 2008 to create the windows form). I know there are ways to just run the scripts by themselves from vb, but I would like everything to be in one self-sustained exe, So I want to know is there a way to run vbscript code inside of a vb.net form. 
 
Any Ideas? 
Thanks.

How to run vbscript in a VB2008 windows form

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
