Is that relevant for you? Thank you for this hint. The more I Google this, the more it looks like there really isn't a universal solution. Some examples even open Internet Explorer and use its dialog box while hidden, which seems like a really bad idea to me. Is an external dependency like a DLL file you have to include with the script , or using a compiled language like VB 6, an option?
In the end, language and form of the executable are not important, so I could certainly rewrite the script.
