.bat to a .vbs?
First I would like to apologize for the simplicity of my question. I am new to scripting and trying to learn some vbs scripting. I created a vbs script to run the uninstall strings and delete a couple directories that failed misserably. So instead I have created a batch file to uninstall an application and delete two folders after the uninstall completes. (See below) I would prefer that this were a .vbs file but as I said earlier, I didn't have much luck. Can anybody assist with converting this script over to vbs?
Also is there a way to add some logic to the script so that it looks for registry key(s) and if it's not there it finishes without error so that I can chain it to an MSI install in SMS 2k3?

Here was the .vbs script I made:
Set objWshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strUninstall = objWshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Documentum DFC Runtime Environment 4.2\UninstallString")
objWshShell.Run strUninstall & " -y -x -a"
strUninstall = objWshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Documentum Desktop Client 4.3\UninstallString")
objWshShell.Run strUninstall & " -y -x -a"
Set objWshShell = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Dim fso, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
s="C:\Documentum"
fso.deletefolder(s),True
On Error Resume Next
Dim fso, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
s="C:\Program Files\Documentum"
fso.deletefolder(s),True
Set objWshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strUninstall = objWshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Documentum DFC Runtime Environment 4.2\UninstallString")
objWshShell.Run strUninstall & " -y -x -a"
strUninstall = objWshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Documentum Desktop Client 4.3\UninstallString")
objWshShell.Run strUninstall & " -y -x -a"
Set objWshShell = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Dim fso, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
s="C:\Documentum"
fso.deletefolder(s),True
On Error Resume Next
Dim fso, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
s="C:\Program Files\Documentum"
fso.deletefolder(s),True

OK I think this actually worked? I am sure it's not very "clean" but it seems to be working? [:D]

Even though it seems to be working, Any advice an imporving on it is certainly welcome.
