Dim objShell,objFSO,objFile

Set objShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'enter the path for your PowerShell Script
strPath="path_to\script.ps1"

'verify file exists
If objFSO.FileExists(strPath) Then
'return short path name
    set objFile=objFSO.GetFile(strPath)
    strCMD="powershell -nologo -command " & objFile.ShortPath

    'Uncomment next line for debugging
    'WScript.Echo strCMD
   
    'use 0 to hide window
    objShell.Run strCMD,0

'Display error message
WScript.Echo "Failed to find " & strPath
