Hyperlink to vbs file

I've made a DWF of our office with symbols for the printers. The hyperlink
is to a vbs file that will install that printer.
The thing I would like to avoid is the dialog box for "file download" that
warns you and force you to select Open to have the script run.
Is it somehow possible to do this without the dialog box?
I've tried to changed the security setting and trusted sites and so on but
could not get it to work.
The DWF and the vbs files will be placed on an intranet.
Would it be easier if it is was exe file that would be executed?

vbs file below:
on error resume next
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\EMTNT12\EMTANX03"

Any ideas are welcome.

I believe the only thing you can do is to wrap your VBS in a CAB file (which
runs the VBS), and the CAB file in an HTML file, then link to the HTML.

Jeffrey,

You got me on the right track. Now it works. The users are so exited to have
such an easy interface to add printers.

I made a HTML file as follow that I linked to from the DWF.

Is it possible to have the new window hidden or minimized?

There might be some sort of HTML Meta tag that does minimizing or something
like that, but nothing in a viewer URL as far as I know.
