I am attempting to run a Visual Basic Script on our ColdFusion 8 server and it doesnt work.

My VBScript copies a Powerpoint into a JPEG and successfully works when I run it locally from command line where it takes my local Powerpoint slide and creates a local JPEG in my test directory. I would like to do the same using ColdFusion on our server.

Script.vbs is located in the same directory (C:\DirectoryOne) as the Powerpoint that I want to copy into a JPEG.

Please advise why it not working on the server?

<cfexecute name="C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe" arguments="C:\DirectoryOne\Script.vbs -c" timeout="30"> </cfexecute>

I would add an additional step in there...

<cffile action="write" file="#expandPath('/temp.bat')#" output="C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe C:\DirectoryOne\Script.vbs -c" />

<cfexecute name="#expandPath('/temp.bat')#" timeout="30"> </cfexecute>

by writting it to a bat file you can troubleshoot a little easier; you also can run manually once the file is written and test that out.
