Question

I'm trying to create and show notification in windows 10 using vbscript. i found a easy solution for mac, where i can easily show notification using this applescript
display notification "All graphics have been converted." with title "My Graphic Processing Script" subtitle "Processing is complete." sound name "Frog"

Here an example to show you how to write a .PS1 file (Powershell Script) and execute it from vbscript.
Option Explicit
Dim Ws,Ret,ByPassPSFile,PSFile
Set Ws = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
ByPassPSFile = "cmd /c PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile -file "
Call WritePSFile("Warning","10","'Please wait...'","' Scan is in progress....'","'Warning'","10")
Ret = Ws.run(ByPassPSFile & PSFile,0,True)
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub WritePSFile(notifyicon,time,title,text,icon,Timeout)
Const ForWriting = 2
Dim fso,ts,strText
PSFile = Left(Wscript.ScriptFullName, InstrRev(Wscript.ScriptFullName, ".")) & "ps1"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile(PSFile,ForWriting,True)
strText = strText & "[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname('System.Windows.Forms') | Out-Null;" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname('System.Drawing') | Out-Null;" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify = new-object system.windows.forms.notifyicon;" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify.icon = [System.Drawing.SystemIcons]::"& notifyicon &";" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify.visible = $true;"
strText = strText & "$notify.showballoontip("& time &","& title &","& text &","& icon &");" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "Start-Sleep -s " & Timeout &";" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify.Dispose()"
ts.WriteLine strText
End Sub

Edit :
Another example that can get your Public IP and your ISP and show them on the BallonTip.
Option Explicit
Dim Ws,Ret,ByPassPSFile,PSFile
Set Ws = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
ByPassPSFile = "cmd /C PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -noprofile -file "
Call WritePSFile(DblQuote("Warning"),"20",DblQuote("Public IP Information"),DblQuote(showIP),DblQuote("Warning"),"10")
Ret = Ws.run(ByPassPSFile & PSFile,0,True)
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub WritePSFile(notifyicon,time,title,text,icon,Timeout)
Const ForWriting = 2
Dim fso,ts,strText
PSFile = Left(Wscript.ScriptFullName, InstrRev(Wscript.ScriptFullName, ".")) & "ps1"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile(PSFile,ForWriting,True)
strText = strText & "[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname('System.Windows.Forms') | Out-Null;" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname('System.Drawing') | Out-Null;" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify = new-object system.windows.forms.notifyicon;" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify.icon = [System.Drawing.SystemIcons]::"& notifyicon &";" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify.visible = $true;"
strText = strText & "$notify.showballoontip("& time &","& title &","& text &","& icon &");" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "Start-Sleep -s " & Timeout &";" & VbCrlF
strText = strText & "$notify.Dispose()"
ts.WriteLine strText
End Sub

Function ShowIP()
Dim http,strJson,j,Info
Set http = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
http.open "GET","http://ip-api.com/json/",False
http.send
strJson = http.responseText
Set j = Parse(strJson)
Info = Info & "IP="&j.query & vbCrLf &_
"ISP="&j.isp & vbCrLf &_
"Country="&j.country & vbCrLf &_
"City="&j.city
ShowIP = Info
End Function

Function Parse(strJson)
Dim html,window
Set html = CreateObject("htmlfile")
Set window = html.parentWindow
window.execScript "var json = " & strJson, "JScript"
Set Parse = window.json
End Function
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function DblQuote(Str)
DblQuote = chr(34) & Str & chr(34)
End function

Another way with vbscript without powershell but using the object CreateObject('Internet.HHCtrl').TextPopup
Option Explicit
Dim http,strJson,j,Info,HH
Set http = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
http.open "GET","http://ip-api.com/json/",False
http.send
strJson = http.responseText
Set j = Parse(strJson)
Info = Info & "IP="&j.query & vbCrLf &_
"ISP="&j.isp & vbCrLf &_
"Country="&j.country & vbCrLf &_
"City="&j.city & vbCrLf &_
"TimeZone="&j.timezone & vbCrLf &_
"CountryCode="&j.countryCode & vbCrLf &_
"org="&j.org & vbCrLf &_
"AS="&j.as & vbCrLf &_
"Latitude="&j.lat & vbCrLf &_
"Longitude="&j.lon
Set HH = CreateObject("Internet.HHCtrl")
HH.TextPopup Info,"Verdana,12",12,12,12,12
WScript.Sleep 10000
Wscript.Quit()
