Hello - I am at a loss and am hoping someone might know how to resolve the issue I am having. &nbsp;The script below is being used to launch an application .exe - hiding the CMD window from the users. &nbsp;It is being triggered from the registry key &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\C<wbr />urrentVers<wbr />ion\Run&quot;. &nbsp;This is so that it runs when anyone logs on.<br />
<br />
The script works perfectly well as admin or non-admin user when launched manually. &nbsp;However, it always fails on the &quot;objShell.Run&quot; line when the registry key is used stating that it cannot find the file specified. &nbsp;I have attempted a 5 second timeout and that did not help either.<br />
<br />
The .exe and the .vbs are located in the same sub-directory of &quot;C:\Program Files&quot;.<br />
<br />
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!<br />

VBScript fails when launched via HKLM...Run key

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
