    VBScript is given below

    Explanation:

    As per the given details the program should be as follows:

    if (WScript. Arguments. Count = 0) then

    WScript. Echo "Missing parameters"

    else

    'Declare the File System object to be used

    Dim fso

    'Declare the path variable to be used for storing the path entered by user

    Dim path

    'Create the File System object using the FileSystemObject class

    Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting. FileSystemObject")

    'initialize the path

    path = WScript. Arguments (0)

    'Check if the path exists

    exists = fso. FolderExists (path)

    if (exists) then

    'declare a constant of size 1024 since 1024 bytes = 1 Kb

    CONST bytesToKb = 1024

    'Print the selected path

    WScript. Echo "Selected Path " & WScript. Arguments (0)

    'get the folder on path

    Set inDir=fso. GetFolder (path)

    'Create the file to store the output results

    Set outFile = fso. CreateTextFile ("Results. txt", True)

    'Print the name, date created and size of each file and store the same in output file

    For Each objFile in inDir. Files

    'Calculate the padding needed for File Name. Assuming the maximum length of file name is 40 characters

    namePadding = 40 - Len (objFile. Name)

    'Calculate the padding needed for Date

    datePadding = 30 - Len (objFile. DateCreated)

    'Add spaces to file Name so that same can be printed in a tabular format

    fileName = objFile. Name & Space (namePadding)

    'Add spaces to date so that same can be printed in a tabular format

    dateCreated = objFile. DateCreated & Space (datePadding)

    'Print the details on screen

    Wscript. Echo fileName & dateCreated & CINT (objFile. Size / bytesToKb) & "Kb"

    'Store the details in ouput file with a newline character at the end

    outFile. Write fileName & dateCreated & CINT (objFile. Size / bytesToKb) & "Kb" & vbCrLf

    Next

    'Close the output file once the loop ends

    outFile. Close

    else

    'Print a message if the path does not exist

    WScript. Echo "Invalid Path Entered"

    end if

    end if
