Applescript to Windows script (VB or java)

Question

I want to have a button in Powerpoint (2003) and have it open iTunes to a specific playlist and start playing using AppleScript

tell application "iTunes"  
    play playlist "iTunes DJ"  
end tell

How can I achieve the same in Windows, perhaps by using VBScript?
