    The issue seems to be trying to mix batch meta commands with forfiles utility commands.  Yu cannot do that.  Please read the help for forfiles.

    FORFILES /?

    look at all of the examples.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Why use a hybrid batch/VBS approach when you could create a nice and clean solution by putting the file selection code into MetaSuite_OpenFile.vbs?

    Likely because it is a third party product.

    Forfiles is a utility and not a script.  Placing it in a batch file does not make it a script issue.

    The problem is in the VBS and how it is being used.  The OP must contact the vendor of the VBS to determine what the output is trying to indicate.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    This makes little sense:  %1.d0*
