Build path and use in external command - vbscript

Question

How to insert my SCRIPT_PATH Variable into PowerShell script path? Also anyone know any Visual Studio Like tool I can write those? I think Visual Studio uses different .net vbs.
Here is the code:
SCRIPT_PATH = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - (Len(WScript.ScriptName)))
MsgBox SCRIPT_PATH
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "RUNAS /user:Domain\User ""powershell SCRIPT_PATH & Delete_App_Script.ps1"""
Set objShell = Nothing
How do I do SCRIPT_PATH = SCRIPT_PATH + Delete_App_Script.ps1?
SCRIPT_PATH = SCRIPT_PATH & "Delete_App_Script.ps1" doesn't work.
It gives no errors, so I am not sure what is the problem.
Am I missing some "" or some ,,?
I've seen some .Run ,,, syntax for Admin running and this one, doesn't explain what goes into "".
Not looking forward creating interface for this.
This doesn't work:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
SCRIPT_PATH = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - (Len(WScript.ScriptName)))
SCRIPT_PATH = SCRIPT_PATH & "Delete_App_Script.ps1"
objShell.Run "RUNAS /user:Dom\adm ""powershell SCRIPT_PATH"""
Set objShell = Nothing
But this works:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "RUNAS /user:Dom\adm ""powershell C:\Delete_App_Script.ps1"""
Set objShell = Nothing
What am I missing?

Use the appropriate FileSystemObject methods when handling paths:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
SCRIPT_PATH = fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
SCRIPT_PATH = fso.BuildPath(SCRIPT_PATH, "Delete_App_Script.ps1")
For using variables inside strings you need to concatenate the variables to the rest of the string, as #Lankymart pointed out. This is also documented in the language tag info.
objShell.Run "RUNAS /user:Domain\User ""powershell " & SCRIPT_PATH & """"
Note also that you should put the path in double quotes in case it contains spaces:
objShell.Run "RUNAS /user:Domain\User ""powershell \""" & SCRIPT_PATH & "\"""""
and you should use the parameter -File, otherwise PowerShell would interpret the script path as a command string, which wouldn't fail for paths with spaces.
objShell.Run "RUNAS /user:Domain\User ""powershell -File \""" & SCRIPT_PATH & "\"""""
