How to run a batch (*.bat) file from TestComplete (Javascript)

It took me longer than I had hoped to figure this out so wanted to put the answer here in case this benefits anyone else.

    function runBatchFile()
    {
       WshShell.Run("C:\\Temp\\hello.bat")
    }

    Others posted some really good alternative answers as well ...

To anyone else who comes to this discussion, MW_Didata's example is VBScript. Thanks MW_Didata for the information and example code!

oops you're right, I meant to post this one

function RunBatch(Batfile, WaitJN)
{
  Log.Message("Running Batchfile '" + (Batfile) + "'", "");
  Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run ((Batfile), 1, (WaitJN))
}
