How to start windows service through VB Script?

How to start windows service through VB Script?

I tried following code to start Mysql service

test.vbs:

service="MySQL55"
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/cimv2")
qry = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE Name='" & service & "'"
For Each s In wmi.ExecQuery(qry)
s.StartService
Next

But this code not starts the mysql service.

Assuming that the service is actually named "MySQL55" check the return value of StartService:

For Each s In wmi.ExecQuery(qry)
  rc = s.StartService
  WScript.Echo s.Name & ": " & rc
Next
