VB scripting set delay between commands

Question

Is there any way to put delay between commands e.g we have 5 command i want that run first command and wait for 3 second to run new command, Then run next command and wait for 2 second, Then run 3rd command and wait for 5 second etc etc. I found WScript.sleep or WScript.sleep()

Are you asking for vbscript or powershell???

vbscript:

WScript.sleep(3000) '3000 milliseconds are 3 seconds

powershell:

convert vbs in powershell and see if error come again! If so maybe a reinstallation of office can repair comobject. In other case try reinstalling Microsoft Windows Script Host.
