How to use multiple paramenter in run command in autohotkey v2

I updated my autohotkey from v1 to v2

appskey::run,Wscript C:\folder\script.vbs "netsh wlan disconnect"
return

the above command working good in v1 to break in v2 I tried :

appskey::run "Wscript C:\folder\script.vbs" "netsh wlan disconnect"

throws error -there is no script engine for file extension ".vsnetsh"

appskey::Run "Wscript C:\folder\script.vbs netsh wlan disconnect"

it open in background but not working

Please correct the above code so that it run for multiple parameter.

In v2 everything is evaluated as an expression.
What you're doing in your run command here:
run "Wscript C:\folder\script.vbs" "netsh wlan disconnect"
is concatenating two string together, so the first (and only) argument the Run function receives is:
"Wscript C:\folder\script.vbsnetsh wlan disconnect".
So you're trying to run a file called script.vbsnetsh and pass in two arguments into it, wlan and disconnect.

And here:
Run "Wscript C:\folder\script.vbs netsh wlan disconnect"
You're running the correct script, but you're passing in three arguments, netsh, wlan and disconnect.

What you're trying to do, is run a file called script.vbs, and pass in just one argument into it, that argument being netsh wlan disconnect.
Your argument contains spaces, so you have to wrap the argument around in "s to indicate it's just one argument, just as you do in your v1 legacy script.

So the correct version would be:

Run "Wscript `"C:\folder\script.vbs`" `"netsh wlan disconnect`""

You escape quotation marks with `" in v2(docs).
And the added quotation marks around your file path aren't needed because your file path doesn't have spaces in it, but it very easily could have, so I added them in for a better demonstration.
