In their above context, both cscript and wscript will act the same. This example gives you a 10 second window to click OK, before timing out: echo set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") > %tmp%\tmp.vbsĮcho WScript.Quit (WshShell.Popup( "You have 10 seconds to Click 'OK'." ,10 ,"Click OK", 0)) > %tmp%\tmp.vbs You could also choose the more customizeable PopUp command. Or echo msgbox "Hey! Here is a message!" > %tmp%\tmp.vbs If (args.Item(1).toLowerCase() = "-help" || args.Item(1).You can take advantage of CSCRIPT.EXE or WSCRIPT.EXE (which have been present in every version of Windows since, I believe, Windows 95) like this: echo msgbox "Hey! Here is a message!" > %tmp%\tmp.vbs Var wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") It uses WSH, but not MSHTA like in the example above. It uses POPUP which allows a little bit more control than the more popular MSGBOX.

It again uses JavaScript despite the OP request but as it is a bat it can be called as a bat file without worries. bat/jscript hybrid (should be saved as bat). Or mshta.exe vbscript:Execute("msgbox ""message"",0,""title"":close")ģ) Here’s parameterized. Or mshta "javascript:alert('message') close()" Or in one line: mshta "about:alert('Hello, world!') close()" Also works on every windows machine from XP and above (despite the OP do not want “external” languages the JavaScript here is minimized). rem del /q /f %ppopup_executable% >nul 2>&1Ģ) Using MSHTA. (echo(FriendlyName=%message1_title%)>"%temp%\d"

(echo(TargetName=%cd%\%ppopup_executable%)>"%temp%\d"

(echo(FinishMessage=%message2%)>"%temp%\d" Works on EVERY windows from XP and above: off 1) The geekiest and hackiest – it uses the IEXPRESS to create small exe that will create a pop-up with a single button ( it can create two more types of pop-up messages).
