Solution 2

you can host a vbs script engine inside C++, using COM and Windows Script Engines[^]

It's not particularly difficult, if you have a good grasp of COM

To run a VBS script see Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide - Running Scripts from the Command Line[^].

To execute a command from a C/C++ application use system, _wsystem[^], _popen, _wpopen[^] or the ShellExecute function (Windows)[^].

To get the data printed out by the script, redirect the output to a text file (see first link) and read that file afterwards or use _popen() (see example at the _popen MSDN link).
