Failing ActiveX Script Task

Hi there,
I'm hoping somebody may be able to give me a clue on this one. I have a DTS package that does a simple bit of VBScript which is checking for a file existing. This works fine when I run it on my PC under my user profile but it fails when it runs on the server.
The line it complains about is,
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
with the error,
Error Description: ActiveX component can't create object: 'CreateObject'

I guess it maybe something that's not installed on the server or a permissions thing (but what & how do I fix it).

Cheers in advance

Brian
 
Just in case anyone else out there has hit this problem

The problem was to do with the version of vbscript.dll on the server - this was from IE4 but the code was using features from the IE5.5 version.
