How to package this vbscript as a msi for Group Policy

group-policymsivbscript

I had a developer that is no longer with us create an msi to do this for me, but the package is outdated now and we need to deploy new files.

Basically I need to do the following:

  1. Take the code at the bottom of this question and deploy it to all users as a software install package in Group Policy. I don't want to use a computer startup script because I don't want this to run at every login…just once to install and be done.

How can I take the below and turn it into an msi for deployment through GPO?

    @echo off

copy "\\tuldc01\EOneActiveXapplets\ActiveX898\jdeexpimpU\jdeexpimp.inf" "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files" /Y
copy "\\tuldc01\EOneActiveXapplets\ActiveX898\jdeexpimpU\jdeexpimpU.ocx" "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files" /Y
copy "\\tuldc01\EOneActiveXapplets\ActiveX898\jdewebctlsU\jdewebctls.inf" "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files" /Y
copy "\\tuldc01\EOneActiveXapplets\ActiveX898\jdewebctlsU\jdewebctlsU.ocx" "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files" /Y

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\jdeexpimpU.ocx" /s
regsvr32 "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\jdewebctlsU.ocx" /s
