This can be done with a combination of batch file & windows script see [here](https://xojo.io/63bd98703cc2). Notice there is a copy file build step to copy psexec to the application folder. Also there is an arbitrary 5s delay between the script running and loading the result. You could run a shorter delay and catch IO errors on the log file to determine the script had completed. ---

Wow - thank you very much Wayne! As well as everyone else who contributed suggestions! I did find in my testing that the wscript OLE object that Neil suggested did somewhat work with a batch file but this is a much more comprehensive solution that I can expand on. Thank you Wayne and the rest of you for your time and effort with helping me solve this problem! It is very much appreciated! ---
