arj.exe and wscript.shell

I wrote the following asp code

<%
set wshell = server.createobject("wscript.shell")
set proc=wshell.Exec("c:\test\arj.exe a -e c:\test\test.arj c:\test\*.txt")
Do While proc.Status = 0
Loop
Response.Write("<BR>")
Response.Write("a="&proc.StdOut.ReadAll())
Response.Write("<BR>")
Response.Write("b="&proc.StdErr.ReadAll())
set wshell = nothing
%>

after the file test.arj was created, I deleted all the txt files and I replaced the line in the asp code with
set proc=wshell.Exec("c:\test\arj.exe e -y c:\test\test.arj")

but the txt files are not created and I don't know why. Please help !

everything is on the server.
both IUSR_machine and IWAM_machine have full control on c:\temp
(remember test.arj was created with the first asp)

I've tried using x, but nothing.
(the command works when used at DOS prompt)

sorry TheKenman, bur as I said my "arj.exe a" works fine, the test.arj file is created.
it's "arj.exe e" that doesn't work.
I even tried your suggestion (with e instead of a) and the files are not extracted.

Well did you figure it out?

Thanks =)
