You are aware that Lua is case-sensitive?

( should be function, not Function )

Maybe try this:

function test()
local err
local vb="test.vbs"
local f,err=io.open(vb)
if err then
msgbox(err)
return
end
f:write("WScript.Sleep(1000)\n")
err=f:close()
if err then
msgbox(err)
return
end
for i=1,10 do
msgbox("Execute=".. (os.execute(vb) or "unknown"))
end
end
