Hello Experts,

I have below code to download some files from given URLs using VBA. Is there a way using which I can use this function in VB Script? Currently it is not allowing me to use these functions as is:

Code:
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFileA Lib "urlmon" (ByVal pCaller As Long, _
ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
 
Private Sub Downloader()
    Dim FS As Object
    Dim ThisWeekURL, LastWeekURL As String
    LastWeekFile = "ESM-LOB-WEEKLY-REM-MON-DOM-GIDB-W-" & Format(Date - 7 - (Weekday(Date - 7) - 1), "yyyy-mm-dd")
    ThisWeekFile = "ESM-LOB-WEEKLY-REM-MON-DOM-GIDB-W-" & Format(Date - (Weekday(Date) - 1), "yyyy-mm-dd")
    OldAlertsFile = "Alerts_" & Format(Date - 7 - (Weekday(Date - 7) - 3), "mmddyy") & ".xlsx"
    NewAlertsFile = "Alerts_" & Format(Date - (Weekday(Date) - 3), "mmddyy") & ".xlsx"
    
    ThisWeekURL = "[URL]http://discovery.nbgfn.com/Discovery/livelink/66475310/[/URL]" & ThisWeekFile & ".zip?func=doc.Fetch&nodeid=66475310&viewType=1"
    LastWeekURL = "[URL]http://discovery.nbgfn.com/Discovery/livelink/66412562/[/URL]" & LastWeekFile & ".zip?func=doc.Fetch&nodeid=66412562&viewType=1"
    AlertsURL = "[URL]http://sharepoint.bankofamerica.com/sites/RiskandCompliance/compliance/Wintel%20ESM%20Remediation/Alerts/[/URL]" & OldAlertsFile
    
    Location = Environ("programfiles") & Application.PathSeparator & "ESM Reporting" & Application.PathSeparator & "Week-" & WorksheetFunction.WeekNum(Date, 1) & Application.PathSeparator
'Check if required week folder exists, if not then create it
    On Error Resume Next
    ReportDir = GetAttr(Location)
    If Err <> 0 Then
        RootDir = GetAttr(Environ("programfiles") & Application.PathSeparator & "ESM Reporting")
        If Err <> 0 Then
            MkDir (Environ("programfiles") & Application.PathSeparator & "ESM Reporting" & Application.PathSeparator)
            ChDir (Environ("programfiles") & Application.PathSeparator & "ESM Reporting" & Application.PathSeparator)
        Else
        End If
        MkDir (Location)
        ChDir (Location)
    End If
'End checking for folder existance
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    On Error Resume Next
    Set fileChecker = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    DownloadFile ThisWeekURL, Location & ThisWeekFile & ".zip"
    Do While Not fileChecker.FileExists(Location & ThisWeekFile & ".zip"): Loop
    
    On Error Resume Next
    DownloadFile LastWeekURL, Location & LastWeekFile & ".zip"
    Do While Not fileChecker.FileExists(Location & LastWeekFile & ".zip"): Loop
    
    DownloadFile AlertsURL, Location & NewAlertsFile
    
    Set Winrar = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    UnZipCmd1 = "Winrar e -pesm4wsu -o+ """ & Location & ThisWeekFile & ".zip""" & " """ & Location & """"
    UnzipCmd2 = "Winrar e -pesm4wsu -o+ """ & Location & LastWeekFile & ".zip""" & " """ & Location & """"
    
    Winrar.Run UnZipCmd1
    Winrar.Run UnzipCmd2
        
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=Location & ThisWeekFile & ".xls"
    Workbooks(ThisWeekFile & ".xls").SaveAs Filename:=Location & ThisWeekFile & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
    Workbooks(ThisWeekFile & ".xlsx").Close
    
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=Location & LastWeekFile & ".xls"
    Workbooks(LastWeekFile & ".xls").SaveAs Filename:=Location & LastWeekFile & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
    Workbooks(LastWeekFile & ".xlsx").Close
    
'Take backup copy of all the files downloaded
    MkDir (Location & "Backup")
    
    Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    FS.CopyFile Location & ThisWeekFile & ".xlsx", Location & "Backup\"
    FS.CopyFile Location & LastWeekFile & ".xlsx", Location & "Backup\"
    FS.CopyFile Location & NewAlertsFile & ".xlsx", Location & "Backup\"
    
'    CopyFile FilePath:=Location & ThisWeekFile & ".xlsx", DestFolderPath:=Location & "Backup\"
'    CopyFile FilePath:=Location & LastWeekFile & ".xlsx", DestFolderPath:=Location & "Backup\"
'    CopyFile FilePath:=Location & NewAlertsFile & ".xlsx", DestFolderPath:=Location & "Backup\"
    
    If fileChecker.FileExists(Location & ThisWeekFile & ".xlsx") Then Kill Location & ThisWeekFile & ".xls"
    If fileChecker.FileExists(Location & LastWeekFile & ".xlsx") Then Kill Location & LastWeekFile & ".xls"
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
 
Public Function DownloadFile(ByVal URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
    Dim lngRetVal As Long
    lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFileA(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
    If lngRetVal = 0 Then DownloadFile = True
End Function

Thanks in advance for any help.
