I am assuming that I can run the WSH script from task scheduler AND have it shell cmd windows without a user logged on interactively. I will try to test that shortly

As far as I am aware there is no way to run EXEs direct from VBScript (unless WSH provides a way). I have always had to write an VB ActiveX DLL that I called to run EXEs from script (very simple DLL to write as it tends to be a one-liner).
