First, I’m not sure what is in the VBS, but VBS is being deprecated and it would be better to build the solution in Powershell that would wait for execution. If you calling an external executable and want to wait, you should look at [Start-Process](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/start-process?view=powershell-7.1) and -Wait.
