Re: Error 800a0046 when trying to run a program

Do you have any antivirus software running on the server that may prevent
the creation of WScript.Shell, perhaps?

Re: Error 800a0046 when trying to run a program

Yes I have McAfee VirusScan Entreprise installed.
Works fine with my Win2KServer having also Viruscan installed.

I will have a try with VirusScan disabled.
Thanks.

Re: Error 800a0046 when trying to run a program

Hello Ray,

Running oWSH.Run("cmd.e xe /c dir > toto.txt", 0, true) works fine
Running oWSH.Run("cmd.e xe /c toto.bat > toto.txt", 0, true) does'nt work
(toto.bat contains only one line : DIR !!!)
Is there something else that can prevent the running of a batch file ?

Re: Error 800a0046 when trying to run a program

Can you post all of your code, or at least all that is relevant here? See,
you shouldn't be getting access denied's based on what the batch file is
doing. If you (iusr) have access to cmd.exe, that's about as far as ASP can
"see." If the batch file is trying to do something unauthorized, this error
would be returned to the stdout from the command prompt, which would not be
bounced back into an ASP error. Like, if you ran "cmd.exe /c net start
[some service]" and your IUSR account isn't authorized to do this, you would
not see this error. Now, if your IUSR didn't have NTFS permissions to
cmd.exe, for example, then you'd see a permission denied error.

Are you positive that your iusr account is authorized to access cmd.exe?

Re: Error 800a0046 when trying to run a program

Ray,

Here is my code

set WSH= Server.CreateOb ject("WScript.S hell")
' szCmd = "c:\fop-0.20.5\fop.bat -xml " & Server.MapPath( "./SH005303.xml")
& " -xsl " & Server.MapPath( "./InstallReport.x sl") & " -pdf " &
Server.MapPath( "./SH005303.pdf") & " > " & Server.MapPath( "./log_fop.txt")
' szCmd = "%COMSPEC% /c " & Server.MapPath( "./toto.bat") & " > " &
Server.MapPath( "./log_fop.txt")
szCmd = "%COMSPEC% /c dir > " & Server.MapPath( "./log_fop.txt")
x=WSH.Run(szCmd , , true)
response.Write( "Run error = " & x)
set WSH = nothing

I don't have the 800a0046 error anymore :-)
When I'm running "cmd.exe /c dir > file.txt" everything works fine and
WSH.run return 0
But when I'm running cmd.exe /c toto.bat > file.txt I, WSH.run return 1
(toto.bat contains the dir command).
