The following batch file can be used to run the .JS file, when it is located in %WPKG_ROOT%\tools\3rd-party\wpkg-create-report:

REM ---code start (watch for line wraps)
@echo off
echo.

set scriptdir=%~dp0

cd /d %scriptdir%\..\..\..

echo Checking installed applications ...
cscript.exe "%scriptdir%\createReport.js" -createStateColumn

echo.
pause
REM ---code end
