Yes, you can create stand-alone HTA
versions for the local machine with the right editor, but an HTA can??™t rely on the functionality that
WSH provides, which means that you??™ll lose a lot of functionality. The best place to look for tools
that will work at the command line is on the Microsoft site at
http://www.microsoft.com/
technet/scriptcenter/createit.mspx
. Another great place to look is the Asp4Hs: Add-On??™s:
ActiveScripts / WSH Scripts Web site at
http://www.wilk4.com/asp4hs/list5.htm
.
Fortunately, you can find editors that make your task significantly easier. For example, the
AdminScriptEditor described at
http://www.adminscripteditor.com/editor/
provides you
with a number of features that make working with WSH easier. For example, you can use it to create
scripts that use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). This Windows feature provides
access to various Windows management functions that you can control from your script. This particular
product isn??™t shareware and it doesn??™t come with a fully functional demonstration program.
The 45-day trial version does give you a good idea of how the product works though.
