Running a Visual Basic program under wscript doesn't open a window.

For example to run a sh script:

--Begin P.vbs--

Dim objShell, intErr

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
intErr = objShell.Run("C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe /c/somePath/P.sh", 0, True)
Wscript.Quit(intErr)

--End P.vbs--

and schedule it as

"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WSCRIPT.EXE //b c:\somePath\P.vbs"

under the task scheduler.
