fire a VBS from ASP.NET

I have a VBS (old fashioned VBS that is) that installs a network
printer via WMI on any PC.

I can pass in the PC's name via a command line argument.

The question is, how can I execute this VBS from a web page. Passing
in the user's PC name is the easy part (I think). Ulitmately, I need
to make a call something like
        installprinter.vbs mypcname

Yes, I'm sure I could use the .NET wrapper for WMI but the script
already exists and I don't understand how to use it. Whereas, I know
VBS pretty well.

Thanks
Mike

Are you trying to install this printer on the server or the client...?

Hi Mark

I want to install the printer on the client that calls the script. The
VBS will run on the server but connect to the WMI service on the
client.

Just a thought - will the security surrounding HTTP actually prevent
this from happening? While the script itself doesn't use HTTP, I
wonder if the fact that it has been called from HTTP will prevent
execution.

Thanks
Mike
