Javascript Or Vb Script Guidance Needed

[ready2drum]

Throwing this question out to those in the 'know'....I would like to write a script that will open an '.exe' file automatically on a daily basis (i.e. at 5pm EST) without me having to click on a button or open a window or file manually.Through research, I've found that there's a program called, AutoIt, that can handle that, but I learned that you can't edit the '.exe' file once the AutoIt.exe file is created. I need something that will allow me to make changes to the file without having to recreate a new file every time a change is needed.Which would be the best approach? since I've never attempted this type of coding before and the information I've found re: VB Script and Javascript seems to indicate that either way, I'd have to open a window/file or click on something for it to happen.Your help and guidance is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

you mean like off your computers hard drive? I know Windows has scheduled tasks that you can setup do this kind of thing.

Not quite...the file exists on a network drive. I found that there's a way in Visual Studio that uses something called, Windows Services, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand what 'ingredients' I need in order to bake this cake.

Create a Windows shell script, and schedule it to run using the scheduled tasks control panel. You may even be able to run the executable directly with the scheduled task instead of putting a shell script in the middle.
