I did not manage yet to get the net use function working but I got some progress with that script:

Code:
 
pushd \\files\share\path
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Program\bin\program.exe
wscript "Y:\path\script.vbs"
popd

Y is the first free letter on the server.
The program is opened, but the vbscript (see above) is not executed. It starts only when I close the program… Any clue on what happens?

To repeat: pushd is not capable of doing that. You really are barking up the wrong tree with this one. BASH is not a network browser.

Try net use. That is one of the only things capable of doing what you want.

I got it Corona688 and in my case it works perfectly and does what I need. Of course not with bash, but with a .bat file:

Code:
 
pushd \\files\share\path
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Program\bin\program.exe
sleep 3
wscript.exe Y:\path\script.vbs
sleep 3
popd
