We set up a .vbs deployment test to one of our client computers, and it shows the deployment was successful. After looking at the client machine the application is not there. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong? 

Hi,

You shouldn't have any issues deploying a vbscript file. You don't need to specify cscript.exe or wscript.exe to launch it. Just pointing to the vbscript should be enough.

What's in the contents of the vbscript? is it trying to run an installation from a share?

Actually, using cscript.exe is the preferred way, specially if there are snipets of code that output something to the console.

You should post the .vbs and also provide more information on the scenario. Are you trying to deploy an application that uses .vbs as installation command? If so, what's your detection method? Or are you deploying a simple package/program?

Did you use the application model or the package model? If the application model did you specify a detection method?

I  just checked the log and you are right it runs wscript.exe by default if you just point to a vbscript.

Thank you, and allow me to tell you that I am new to the IT industry.  I am working as an intern for the federal court system.  Please excuse my diction and failure to adequately express the scenario in detail.  

We are trying to deploy a WestKM Word toolbar installation to about 60 client computers.  We wanted to do a test first and so deployed to a virtual machine and found that it was failing due to the machine not have Microsoft Office installed.  In other words the deployment actually worked, but not having MS Office caused it to fail.  After a little while the completion status showed the failure.  we just didn't give it time.  We have installed MS Office and trying the deployment again.

You still didn't answer the question... What does the .vbs file contain? Are you using an application with detection method or are you using package/program?
