VBScript can work in its own console application but cannot be called in a service?

[TheTruthWhatsUp]

The following VBScript code runs smoothly when I use cscript and/or VB console applications:

Set wmiServices = GetObject("winmgmts:root/default") 
Set colTreeChanges = wmiServices.ExecNotificationQuery _
    ("SELECT * FROM RegistryTreeChangeEvent " _
    & "WHERE Hive='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' " _
    & "AND RootPath='SOFTWARE\\Microsoft'")

While (True)
   Set TreeChange = colTreeChanges.NextEvent
   TreeChange.GetObjectText_()
   Wscript.Echo  "Hive = " & TreeChange.Hive & VBNewLine _
      & "RootPath = "& TreeChange.RootPath _
      & TreeChange.GetObjectText_()      
Wend

I plan to call this code into my windows service application, it currently has the following code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Globalization;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Management;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Text;
using System.Timers;

namespace SoftwareDetectionService
{
    public partial class SoftwareDetectionService : ServiceBase
    {

        public SoftwareDetectionService()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            if (!System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists("MySource"))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(
                   "MySource", "MyNewLog");
            }
            eventLog1.Source = "MySource";
            eventLog1.Log = "MyNewLog";
        }

        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            eventLog1.WriteEntry("Service has started");
            Process scriptproc = new Process();
            scriptproc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            scriptproc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            scriptproc.StartInfo.FileName = @"cscript";
            scriptproc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"c:\Users\081254X\Documents\code11.vbs";
            scriptproc.Start();
            StreamReader SR = scriptproc.StandardOutput;
            string result = SR.ReadToEnd();
            eventLog1.WriteEntry(result);
            scriptproc.WaitForExit();
            SR.Close();
            scriptproc.Close();
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            eventLog1.WriteEntry("Service has ended");
        }
    }
}

For some odd reason, the VBScript code only works on cscript but when I call in the code to the service, it doesn't work... someone explain why?

do you also get the message that access (to filesystem) is denied?

[!NoItAll]

I believe this is a security issue. Creating a service that can run VB Scripts smells like a Trojan to me...

Why not put the functionality inside the service, or wrap it into a replaceable DLL?

try the following solution to access scripts from within your application:

Is a FULL description of "how-to"! Very good documentation about using scripting-engines!
