How to test VB Script

How to test a VB Script. As it is placed in my .msi and if it doesnt
work properly it is not possible for me to remove the application from
my system. So before putting that VB Script i jst wants to test the
working of script file.

You might want to try here:
microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi

This group is for VBScript, but that group is
specifically for problems with .msi installers.
Offhand I would think you really have two tests
to make:

1) Does the script do what you want it to do
on all systems. Maybe you can test that with the
script alone.

2) Does the script get called propertly during install
with your .msi.

Adding to what mayayana said,

Run the script from the command line with cscript. If the MSI is passing
any paramenters, be sure you pass those along.

Then check to make sure that the vbscript is doing what it should. Once
it's included in the MSI and kicked off properly, it should work.
