Just a couple of extra pointers:
1. It's probably better to invoke cscript.exe, rather than wscript.exe.
It's essentially a console version of the windows scripting host. As
such, it's standard and error output will integrate more nicely with
NAnt, and it should also avoid any dialogs appearing, which might
otherwise block your unattended NAnt script, waiting for a user
response.
2. Run cscript.exe from the command line, have a look at its usage
information and consider explicitly specifying some of the options. For
example, you can explictly force the scripting language using
//E:vbscript, rather than leaving the app to guess (I was stung by this
a few weeks ago, when a script that ran fine on my PC was consistently
failing on our build server).

Don't think you can do this directly with NAnt. The simplest way is
probably to use the <exec> task to run WScript.exe and pass the .vbs
file in the arguments.

[NAnt-users] Launching VB script file
Simple question I hope, but I have a .vbs file that I would like to
launch/run from NAnt what is the best way to handle this? Can the NAnt
script task work with plain VB Script - Not VB.NET? If it can not then
what is the best way to run a vbscript file?
Thanks,
Tim Mayert.
