Run files hidden - vbscript

I am making a project of batch, and I used this vbscript to run it hidden: but I don't know if it's correct.
echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
echo WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Desktop\BatMan.bat" & chr(34), 0
echo Set WshShell = Nothing
echo WScript.Sleep 7500
do
echo WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Downloads\BatManSetup1.bat" & chr(34), 0
echo Set WshShell = Nothing
echo WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Downloads\BatManSetup4.bat" & chr(34), 0
echo Set WshShell = Nothing
echo WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Downloads\BatManSetup5.bat" & chr(34), 0
echo Set WshShell = Nothing
echo WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Downloads\BatManSetup6.bat" & chr(34), 0
echo Set WshShell = Nothing
echo WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Downloads\BatManMain.bat" & chr(34), 0
echo Set WshShell = Nothing
Do I actually need to type the echo Set WshShell = Nothing multiple times? And is it possible to run many files hidden in one vbs like that? Will it lag the speed?

Specified File Can't be Found

I have been creating this to do auto-attend of setting up of computers with minimum attention needed. Been working on this and made some breakthroughs.
I want to be able to run this as admin from the start of the script. The problem is is down at the wshShell.Run(Command_3A) 'Lightspeed. The program runs great to that point but then gives me a Specified file can't be found.
The entire thing worked fine until I inserted the Runas admin command. So I am figuring it is somewhere in there. Here is the portion to Runas admin.
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If WScript.Arguments.Length = 0 Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe" _
, Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " RunAsAdministrator", , "runas", 1
WScript.Quit
End If
Here is all the code.
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If WScript.Arguments.Length = 0 Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe" _
, Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " RunAsAdministrator", , "runas", 1
WScript.Quit
End If
spath = "C:\ThumbDrive"
' Step 1 - Set Power Settings
Command_1A = "powercfg /change standby-timeout-ac 0"
Command_1B = "powercfg /change standby-timeout-dc 15"
Command_1C = "powercfg /change monitor-timeout-ac 0"
Command_1D = "powercfg /change monitor-timeout-dc 15"
Command_1E = "powercfg /change hibernate-timeout-ac 0"
Command_1F = "powercfg /change hibernate-timeout-dc 15"
wshShell.Run "cmd /k " & Command_1A & "&" & Command_1B & "&" & Command_1C & "&" & Command_1D & "&" & Command_1E & "&" & Command_1F & "& exit"
WScript.Sleep 3000
' Step 2 - Remove Bloatware (Win10Apps)

Command_3A = Chr(34) & spath & "\Programs\Lightspeed\UserAgentx64 V2.1.14.msi" & Chr(34)
Command_3B = Chr(34) & spath & "\Programs\AcroRdrDC1801120058_en_US.exe" & Chr(34) & "& /sAll "

So I know the UAC works and all the code works without the UAC Control. Can anyone help me figure out why the UAC control breaks everything.
The CurrentDirectory property returns a string that contains the fully qualified path of the current working directory of the active process.
It points to C:\WINDOWS\system32 for an elevated script. You can either
supply the current working directory from unelevated process to the elevated one, or
elicit it from the Wscript.ScriptFullName property.
Both methods are illustrated in the following code snippet:
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
spath = wshShell.CurrentDirectory
If WScript.Arguments.Length = 0 Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe" _
, Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) _
& " RunAsAdministrator " & Chr(34) & spath & Chr(34), , "runas", 1
WScript.Quit
End If
'' take out the supplied value:
spath = WScript.Arguments(1)
'' find out where the script resides:
shtap = Left( WScript.ScriptFullName, _
Len( WScript.ScriptFullName) - Len( WScript.ScriptName) -1 )
'' debugging output
Wscript.Echo CStr( WScript.Arguments.Length) & _
vbNewLine & Chr(34) & WScript.Arguments(0) & Chr(34) & _
vbNewLine & Chr(34) & spath & Chr(34) & _
vbNewLine & Chr(34) & shtap & Chr(34) & _
vbNewLine & Chr(34) & wshShell.CurrentDirectory & Chr(34)
' Step 1 - Set Power Settings
Output (using cscript.exe Windows Script Host):
2
"RunAsAdministrator"
"D:\bat\SO"
"D:\bat\SO"
"C:\WINDOWS\system32"
I had to create a input box to specify what the sPath was, and left the UAC reading from C:\WINDOWS\system32. It works wonderfully, just wish I could get it to run without having the input box.

If - Else If statement in VBScript

Else If exist "K:\ICT project"
(Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run Chr(34) & "K:\ICT project" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing)
Else If exist "F:\ICT project"
(Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run Chr(34) & "F:\ICT project" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing)

What is wrong with the code? And how well the If statement is used? please help me.
How can this code be improved?
To search for a program on different drives and call it (perhaps with arguments and decent quotes), use a loop over the drives:
Option Explicit
Const csPrg = "pipapo"
Function qq(s) : qq = """" & s & """" : End Function
Dim goFS : Set goFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim sDL, sFSpec, sCmd
For Each sDL In Split("A:\ C:\ K:\ E:\")
sFSpec = goFS.BuildPath(sDL, csPrg)
sCmd = Join(Array("%comspec% /c", qq(sFSpec), "/p:arm", qq("one two three"), 4711))
WScript.Echo sCmd
If goFS.FileExists(sFSpec) Then Wscript.Echo " ==> now run sCmd (and perhaps Exit For)"
Next
output:
cscript 47922850.vbs
%comspec% /c "A:\pipapo" /p:arm "one two three" 4711
%comspec% /c "C:\pipapo" /p:arm "one two three" 4711
%comspec% /c "K:\pipapo" /p:arm "one two three" 4711
%comspec% /c "E:\pipapo" /p:arm "one two three" 4711
==> now run sCmd (and perhaps Exit For)

how to get permission to replace the utilman.exe

I would like to get the permission to replace or rename the utilman.exe. The script below is not working.
Dim strFolder, strUser, strDomain
strFolder = "c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe"
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ObjShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run("takeown /A /f" & Chr(34) & strFolder & chr(34)),1,True
objShell.Run("icacls chr(34) & strFodler & chr(34) /grant administrator:F"),1,True
Wscript.quit
You defined the icacls commandline as a single string when you apparently want it to contain the value of the variable strFolder in double quotes. You must use string concatenation for this to work in VBScript. Also, you may want to put a space after the parameter /f of takeown and remove the parentheses around the commands.
Change this:
objShell.Run("takeown /A /f" & Chr(34) & strFolder & chr(34)),1,True
objShell.Run("icacls chr(34) & strFodler & chr(34) /grant administrator:F"),1,True
into this:
objShell.Run "takeown /A /f " & Chr(34) & strFolder & chr(34), 1, True
objShell.Run "icacls " & chr(34) & strFolder & chr(34) & " /grant administrator:F", 1, True

How to compare the result of cmd in the vbscript?

I ask about getting the result of this cmd command netstat -a | find /c "TCP"
and compare it with specific value using VBSCRIPT
thanks
It's difficult to answer question with so less details, but lets try anyway...
Example code below will illustrate 2 ways to store the command-line output to a variable in your vbs. WScript.Echo is used just as evidence (display the result).
'** VAR#1 (using Exec & StdOut) ----------
Dim ObjExec
Dim strFromProc
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set ObjExec = objShell.Exec("%comspec% /c " _
& "netstat -a | find /c " & Chr(34) & "TCP" & Chr(34))
Do Until ObjExec.Stdout.atEndOfStream
strFromProc = strFromProc & ObjExec.StdOut.ReadLine & vbNewLine
Loop
WScript.Echo strFromProc ' display result from variable strFromProc
Set objShell = Nothing
Set ObjExec = Nothing
'** VAR#2 (using Run) --------------------
Const cLogFile = "result.txt"
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "%comspec% /c netstat -a | find /c " _
& Chr(34) & "TCP" & Chr(34) & ">" & cLogFile, 0, True
Dim oFile, Result
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If .FileExists(cLogFile) Then
Set oFile = .OpenTextFile(cLogFile)
Result = oFile.ReadLine
oFile.Close
Set oFile = .GetFile(cLogFile)
oFile.Delete
End If
End With
WScript.Echo Result ' display result from variable Result
Set oFile = Nothing
Set objShell = Nothing

VBScript error problems: Expected End 800A03F6

I am trying to make a vbs work, the idea is it will remotely install an msi, to a list of machines contained with a txt file.
I am getting multiple errors, the first is:
wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: "WshShell.Exec" Line 27, Char 1
WshShell.Exec "%COMSPEC% /C COPY " & StrInstallFile & " \\" & strComputer _
& "\C$\Windows\Temp", 0, TRUE
I seemd to have got round this with:
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec......
then got:
expected end of statement line 27 cahr 29
adding an &:
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec & "%COMSPEC%.....
now gets me:
expected end of statement line 27 char 110
which is the penultimate comma
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec & "%COMSPEC% /C COPY" & StrInstallFile _
& " \\" & strComputer & "\C$\Windows\Temp", 0, TRUE
so i am not sure what is wrong at this point, and whether changing the whole line to a set was the right thing to have done.
You are mixing .Run and .Exec. The prototype for .Exec:
object.Exec(strCommand)
shows that you need someting like:
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("%COMSPEC% /C COPY " & StrInstallFile & " \" & strComputer & "\C$\Windows\Temp")
If you want .Run instead, try something like:
Dim iRet : iRet = WshShell.Run(strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn])
Dim iRet : iRet = WshShell.Run("%comspec% ...", 0, True)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("MachineList.Txt", 1)
StrInstallFile="install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi"
StrNoUpdateFile="mms.cfg"
StrInstallCMD="msiexec.exe /qn /i "
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strComputer = objFile.ReadLine
' --------- Check If PC is on -------------
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec("ping -n 1 -w 1000 " & strComputer) 'send 3 echo requests, waiting 2secs each
strPingResults = LCase(WshExec.StdOut.ReadAll)
If InStr(strPingResults, "reply from") Then
' ---------- Successful ping - run remote commands ----------------
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
' --------- Copy msi to windows temp folder
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("%COMSPEC% /C COPY " & StrInstallFile & " \\" & strComputer & "\C$\Windows\Temp")
' --------- execute msi file on remote machine
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("%COMSPEC% /C psexec \\" & StrComputer & " " & strInstallCMD & "c:\Windows\Temp\" & StrInstallFile)
' --------- Copy no "no update" file to remote machine, first line is for win7, second for xp
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("%COMSPEC% /C COPY " & StrNoUpdateFile & " \\" & strComputer & "\C$\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("%COMSPEC% /C COPY " & StrNoUpdateFile & " \\" & strComputer & "\C$\Windows\system32\macromed\flash")
Else
' ---------- Unsuccessful ping - Leave computer name in MachineList.txt and continue ----------------
strNewContents = strNewContents & strComputer & vbCrLf
End If
Loop
objFile.Close
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("MachineList.txt", 2)
objFile.Write strNewContents
objFile.Close
