Question

This silverlight code throws an error “Cannot invoke a non-delegate type”

        var WshShell = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
        var WshSysEnv = WshShell.Environment("SYSTEM");
        var foo = WshSysEnv("APPDATA");

How can I get the environment variable?

EDIT:
@paulsm4 – this works in silverlight…

        var WshShell = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
        var appData = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%APPDATA%");
        MessageBox.Show(appData);

Assuming WSH, How about something like this:

Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
WScript.Echo wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%APPDATA%" )
wshShell = Nothing
