Solve : VBscrip Progress bar??

Answer»

hey all,

I've written a script that I run and users machines once I've installed xp. It just installs the needed programs and saves me having to do it.

So far I've been using timed pop-up's to alert me when programs have finished installing. I'd really like to have a progress bar DISPLAYING the current program being installed and the progress of the script.

Is this possible in VBS??

Bearing in mind that the script attached is about my limit in VBS, can you point me in the right direction??

Thanking youNo elegant solutions that I'm aware of. It's possible to USE an HTML progress bar object within IE, but that usually raises all SORTS of pesky ActiveX issues. You can also wrap an HTML FRAMEWORK around your VBS code creating a HTA file. This eliminates the IE issues but you lose access to the WScript object and it's methods and properties.

Your code shells out to many external files, which would make UPDATING the progress bar problematical.
