Add PowerShell in VB with Ws.shell

Question

Howdy!

I'm attempting to run a PowerShell script within a VBScript, but when I launch the.exe, an error message that I don't understand is presented in the console.
Finally, at line 5, I put "Dim," when it should be "Set." However, Set is no longer supported (I'm not sure what effect this has). BC30807 is the identification number for this error.
At the moment, I'm attempting to run a.ps1 file, but the goal is to incorporate the powershell script straight into the VBScript.

Thanks in advance!

A VB script is a text file with a .VBS extension that is processed by cscript.exe or wscript.exe. You appear to be using compiled VB.Net.

Public member 'run' on type 'IWshShell3' not found.

There is no reason to use the Windows Script Shell object in VB.Net. Use process.start to run an external program.

but the goal is to incorporate the powershell script straight into the VBScript.

That's a great idea. If you're using an IDE like Visual Studio, you can take advantage of code snippets, auto complete, and it's help features to write code more easily. But obviously it all depends on what your code is trying to do.
