Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
GetTheParent = fso.GetParentFolderName(Wscript.ScriptFullName)

Taken from here:



To use the resulting value in a script, add a reference to the variable where you need its value. For example:

Shell.run GetTheParent & "\test.bat", vbhide
+3

To get the folder executing .VBS is located in:



type dp0.vbs
Option Explicit
Dim oFS : Set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.Echo "WScript.ScriptFullName", WScript.ScriptFullName
WScript.Echo "oFS.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)", oFS.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName
)


cscript dp0.vbs
WScript.ScriptFullName E:\trials\SoTrials\answers\tools\jscript\ijs\dp0.vbs
oFS.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) E:\trials\SoTrials\answers\tools\jscript\ijs
0

This should work.

   set objShell = Createobject("wscript.shell")
    strPath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - Len(WScript.ScriptName))
    Shell.run strPath & "test.bat", vbhide
-1
