Ok, presently this is the method I use for running an external *.exe from within a vbscript.

strComputer = "."
	Hidden_Window=5
	Set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
	set objStartup = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup") 
	Set objConfig = objStartup.SpawnInstance_ 
	objConfig.ShowWindow = Hidden_Window
	Set objProcess = GetObject ("winmgmts:root\cimv2:Win32_Process")
	errReturn = objProcess.Create("D:\ISRA\COSS\Filewatch.exe", null, objConfig, intProcessID)

Is there a better way to run an external *.exe from within a VBScript? I need to run it, then kill it. I search for a bit but couldn't find anything useable. Thanks in advanced.
