Have you tried running your script as administrator?

<div>
Do a google on TweakUAC. I haven't used it myself as yet (my UAC is off) but it might help.<br />
I also ran TweakVI to make my account work the same as the real admin account.<br />
<br />
At least try turning off the UAC to ensure that it is the cause of your problem &nbsp;:)

I would like to use the &quot;Shell&quot; command in VB 6 to run an executable file in Windows Vista. &nbsp;When I run my VB program I get the message Runtime error '5' &quot;Invalid procedure call or argument&quot;. &nbsp;It seems that the User Account Control in Windows Vista will not allow the Shell command.<br />

I would like to use the "Shell" command in VB 6 to run an executable file in Windows Vista.  When I run my VB program I get the message Runtime error '5' "Invalid procedure call or argument".  It seems that the User Account Control in Windows Vista will not allow the Shell command.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Shell with Windows Vista and UAC

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

Windows Vista

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
