or

& "C:\designer\5.7\bin\designer.exe" "C:\designer\5.7\bin\designer.prop"

or

& "C:\designer\5.7\bin\designer.exe" C:\designer\5.7\bin\designer.prop

You should be able to use just

C:\designer\5.7\bin\designer.bat -p C:\designer\5.7\bin\designer.prop

Your latter two examples should work as they are.

x.vbs file content following:

Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
oShell.run "cmd /K CD **path** & **x.bat** **parameter**"
Set oShell = Nothing

powershell script following :

Start-Process x.vbs
