*************************************************

The following is an example of how to get the value of these Environment Variables in a VBscript:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WScript.Echo WshShell.Environment("PROCESS").Item("VV_SOURCE_FOLDER")
WScript.Echo WshShell.Environment("PROCESS").Item("VV_TARGET_FOLDER")
WScript.Echo WshShell.Environment("PROCESS").Item("VV_LOG_FILE")
WScript.Echo WshShell.Environment("PROCESS").Item("VV_EXIT_CODE")

In a BAT file, Environment Variables can be referred to by using %%, for example:

%VV_PROFILE_NAME%
%VV_EXIT_CODE%
