VBscript needs to die, I'm continually amazed at what a steaming pile of cack it is. It's completely worthless for web stuff, and unfortunately, despite it's absolutely amazing shortcomings, it's the best tool for the job on Windows systems for non-web automation scripting due to the fact that M$ spent so much effort forcing it on everybody. Your only other choices are dos/batch(utter shit) and powershell(a complete waste of effort).
Linux on the other hand, has awesome scripting, but M$ isn't even smart enough to just copy that...
Yours Truly,
