Hello,

I'm trying to launch a vbscript file from my ASP page which I can do fine. The vbscript file creates an Excel file and populates it with data from an SQL database.

The script file runs fine interactively, however when executing from launching it from the ASP page it gets hung. The Event Viewer says it's trying to run the MSI Installer. I believe this is because it's trying to launch it with the IIS account instead of my own account.

Does anybody know how to by pass this or resolve this?

Hello again,

Additional info...
I'm trying to launch Excel on the server, not the client. The server is starting Excel but stops, trying to run the MSI installer.


Thanks again,
