How do I install the Windows Scripting Host software?

A. When the software is downloaded fromhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/a single file is fetched, WSH.EXE.

Switches for WSH.EXE are

/Q - Quiet Mode
/T: - Specifies temporary working folder
/C - Extract files only to the folder when used also with /T
/C: - Override Install Command defined by author

To install perform the following:

If you wanted to install as part of a logon script or the like you would use

C:> wsh /q

Which then asks no questions and gives no confirmations. You could check tosee if WSH is installed and only install if not found, e.g.

if not exist %systemroot%system32wscript.exe\wsh.exe /q

Where \ is a share that holds the WSH.EXEimage.
