I recently ran into an issue and this other thread put me on the right track.
Aloha POS using Quick Service. Working on it via the Panel Editor.
The issue is that Aloha POS, when you try to use the "Run Application" feature, will only execute EXE files.
I was trying to get it to run a VBS. The previous thread gave me an idea and it worked.
I executed the vbs via C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe in the "Run application" option.
Here is my example.
C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe "myvbs.vbs"
You do need the quotes around the parameter. But otherwise you are fine.
I did find that IF you use a long file name, sometimes, if you running it as past of a script, it will cut it off. So I recommend using short names for your VBS. I discovered this in testing.
