Watch for output or results from "foo.vbs" during the run.

There's no need to interject a needless additional process of cmd.exe. 
You can call cscript directly without a problem:


   Neptune:cat HelloWorld.vbs
   option explicit

   sub display (msg)
  wscript.echo msg
   end sub

   display "Hello World from VBS!"
   Neptune:cscript HelloWorld.vbs
   Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8

   Hello World from VBS!
   Neptune:

I usually write a CMD.EXE script that in turn, runs cscript and its *.vbs file.

Example:

The following lines are a cmd "batch" file called bar.cmd


@echo on
echo.This is "bar.cmd," a CMD.EXE script, which will be invoked by 
Cygwin
echo.Run a vbscript called "foo.vbs"
cscript foo.vbs
echo."foo.vbs" is complete
echo.Done, now exiting "bar.cmd"
exit

Could you attach a copy of the files replacing sensitive data?

Try executing a VB script that's in your CWD that does something very, 
very simple like echos "Hello World". Does that work? If so start adding 
complexity until it breaks.


cscript should work for you. I believe I have an alias vbs="cscript 
/nologo".

As a first idea, check the differences in the path between the command
prompt and the Cygwin shell.
( %PATH% vs $PATH )
