Copy and install

I need to copy a folder from the network with a program in it. After it has
been copyed to the C: it must run the setup file. I can copy it, but cant
find the right command to get it to run. Here is my script:

------------------
Set fs = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFolder "\\Ask\Programmer\NetscreenKlient", "C:\NetscreenKlient"
ws.Run ("C:\NetscreenKlient\Setup\setup.exe")
------------------

The ws.Run command is where the error is. What should i use instead. Or do
anyone have another way to do this.

Best regards

Have you created ws by

set ws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

Hi

You need to define the ws object before you use it (ws.Run):

Set ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
