I can't add or change software at my institution. Is it possible to execute a bash using VB in excel?

Maybe a button that the user clicks would call and execute the bash? Thank you Smilie.

---------- Post updated at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous update was at 10:25 AM ----------

I normally run a bash script in cygwin terminal using bash ~/annovar.sh. I am trying to avoid scripting and am using the VB below to call and execute a bash script. This is on a windows machine in excel 2010.

VB

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim cmd As String
Dim ret As Double
Dim WshShell As Object
Dim plink_object As Object

' Run Linux Commands
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
On Error Resume Next
Set plink_object = WshShell.Run("C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe annovar.sh 66 ""50602_15:56:31_15:56:11_15:56:21;50602_15:57:07_15:56:47_15:56:57""", 1)
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

the cygwin terminal starts but says: annovar.sh: No such file or directory

annovar.sh is in C:\cygwin\bin\

should it be somewhere else? and what does 66 ""50602_15:56:31_15:56:11_15:56:21;50602_15:57:07_15:56:47_15:56:57""", 1) refer to? Thank you Smilie.
