shell will not run problem

I can go to Start Run and Paste %SystemRoot%\system32\fpa\aas2.exe and the program will execute.
I try to use the shell I created and get this error.

activex component can't create object "wscript.shell"

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Dim wshShell
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.Run("%SystemRoot%\system32\fpa\aas2.exe")
MsgBox "Ran FPA from System32"
</SCRIPT>

I am no expert with shells.
Thanks

Try this one :

WshShell.Run "%SystemRoot%\System32\fpa\aas2.exe"

Parentheis is used when you bind WshShell to an object to retrieve result from the command. If doing so, you must wait for return Ex :

strResult = WshShell.Run("%SystemRoot%\System32\fpa\aas2.exe",,True)
Wscript.echo strResult

Syntax : object.Run(strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn])

I'm actually not sure if you can use the syntax %systemroot%, you might have to do it through "Cmd /C %Systemroot%..."

Hope this helps...

This sounds like a failure calling CreateObject()

hmm, that's true... didn't see that

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

No, JadeKnight. That only makes thing worse.
vemate, you have to lower the security level (zone) of the ie. Or, you simply rename the .htm file to .hta.
