B4J Question Execute VBS script on windows and get returned value?

[Nokia]

I am trying to figure a way to lock down my license for my app on to a node/computer so they can’t move from computer to computer.

What is normally done in the B4J world?

I have a vbs script that I have modified to return a machine ID…

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
strD = ""
strP = ""
strN = ""
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk Where DeviceID = 'C:'")
For Each objItem In colItems
  strD = objItem.VolumeSerialNumber
Next
Set colItemsP = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Processor")
For Each objItem In colItemsP
  strP = strP & objItem.ProcessorID & "::"
Next
Set colItemsN = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objItem In colItemsN
  strN = objItem.Name
Next

Is there a way to write this code to a .vbs file and execute it and get returned value then delete the file?

I can also put this in s vb.net .dll file and have seen somewhere on here about making a bridge to native .net software..

COM wise, the bridge is here. http://danadler.com/jacob/
I have only just begun to play with it in from this thread.

Maybe this will help.

Maybe it's possible to execute the script with jShell lib, and the results are written to a file by the script.

Please find attached a tested example (B4J on windows 10) using the jShell Library. The WSH script test1.vbs is located in the project objects folder.

From vbs you can write to the stdOut and read the result with jshell.

this looks good.. Thanks..

I was looking at the jshell, just didn't know how to do it..

does this write the results back to a file or catch it in memory?
