Should we use CScript.exe or WScript.exe to run .vbs files? [duplicate]

Question

VBScript (.vbs) files can be run using either cscript.exe or wscript.exe.

What's the difference between these two options?

Answer 1

One major difference is that cscript runs within a console, wscript does not.

If you want console-like output, use cscript. In that mode, printing will result in output to the console. That same printing in wscript send its output to dialog boxes:

wscript.echo "hello"

Answer 2

With cscript, it displays the info in a cmd window, which will not stop the script. while using Hscript will get a info pop up which halts the script
