First, please file your vb script problem as a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org
so we can look at that.  Be sure to mention what version of
Linux and what version of Wine you're using.

But while you're waiting for us to look at that, you might try using
http://www.autohotkey.com/ to write your script.
I think that works in Wine.
