Thanks for that VBS script as it probably would work for nerdy people.
But I'm trying to help non-nerds who won't be running visual basic.

What I want is what everyone wants which is a program that anyone can

to install Microsoft Visual Basic, Pascal, Docker, or other crutches.

What is the setup required to add visual basic to a PC to run your script?
