Question

Is there a way to download projects from TFS using VBScript?

Answer 1

You can build a command line that runs tf.exe with the appropriate options & use the shell object to execute it. The sample below is an (untested) bastardised mash of a couple of things we have laying around. (the basic form is from a .vbs set up to do copying among network shares & the TFS command line is from a nightly build batch file)

Dim strCmd
Dim objShell

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strCmd = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>tf get ""$/<Project Name>/Trunk/NET/<Application>"" /force /recursive" 

objShell.Exec(strCmd & " > c:\temp\get.log ")
