A simple build system written using VBScript, Windows Batch files and Windows scripting host.
Well, like most applications, it was written to scratch an itch. I have several projects at work that utilize Microsoft (R) Office databases and spreadsheets. These are projects that have grown over time, but the business is still not willing to rewrite as proper applications. They have still become complex enough that I see the need for a build system. Most build systems, however, are geared towards actual compiled (or interpretted) code bases. In this case, I need something that can handle some basic Office automation.
Probably not. But then again, it is really only being written for a couple of projects I have at work that have very basic needs. If someone else finds it useful, though, please let me know.
It is really very simple. Just check out the How to Use WshScript page at GitHub.
