but can it be used to run certain set of commands rather than just launching an application?

Put your commands in a .cmd or .bat file and then run that. You could even build the batch file inside your script if it is not static.

MyBatch.cmd

CD C:\a
winzip32.exe -min -a D:\d

MyScript.vbs

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "MyBatch.cmd"
