Build an vbs executable
Executable, app(lication), program. Whatever you call it, sometimes it might be necessary to compile the script into an actual program.
Even though vbs is a script language and not a programming language, it can be done.
VbsEdit is an editor to fulfill such task with ease.
- Just goto File > Convert into Executable. Choose output path, 32/64-bit version and hit OK.

Mod Tool (because 32-bit) fails to execute following code properly on 64-bit operation systems.
So the code must be build as 64-bit program on 64-bit OS and 32-bit program on 32-bit OS.
