Can't use Wscript.Shell when moved to Win7 x64

[kinook]

WScript.Shell is an object available in script code (provided by Microsoft).

There's also a wscript.exe and cscript.exe (again, from Microsoft) for invoking scripts from a command-line.

WScript.Shell is not even needed in Visual Build to run a program. You can use a Run Program action or a Builder.RunProgramEx call (from script code).

As to the actual problem, I still don't know what it is so can only guess. A privilege issue is one possibility. At any rate, it sounds like a Windows issue, not a Visual Build problem per se.
