Okay, so I figured out how to run that vbs from an “elevated” command prompt. I actually tried the sequence a few times. I hve attached a sequence of screenshots from the final attempt. As you can see the vbs script generated a message “Onyx not found. Removing stale database” and then “Succeeded, try installing Onyx”. The installation program (the beta) threw an error about not being able to create a show, and later about a script not being found. Finally failed.
Appreciate the help man.
