Calling exe in the VBScript

Question

I am trying to pass an exe path in the VBScript to call it automatically. Please suggest.

Path to pass :

C:\Program Files\TSVN\bin\Tor.exe"/command:repobrowser

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run(""C:\Program Files\TSVN\bin\TProc.exe"/command:repobrowser"") 'Not working
Set objShell = Nothing

The syntax highlighting actually shows up your issue the string is not correctly terminated due to not escaping the command quotes properly. — user692942, Dec 20 '15 at 10:42

The quotes have not been escaped correctly causing in string to be incorrectly terminated, try this;

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run("""C:\Program Files\TSVN\bin\TProc.exe""/command:repobrowser")
Set objShell = Nothing

The string is equivalent to

"C:\Program Files\TSVN\bin\TProc.exe"/command:repobrowser
