Hi, According to the description, it seems that you want to develop a VBS script. As we mainly focus on the General question about Windows Server system and here is not the best support resource for developing a VBS script, it is recommend you to get further support in the corresponding community so that you can get the most qualified pool of respondents. Thanks for your understanding. For your convenience, I have list the related link as followed.

Hi Vincent, I am not developing vbscript code. We are migrating existing VB6 based components from win2k app server to windows2008(32 bit) server. We are experencing difficulty to all components which refer MSXML4.dll which is in system32 folder. Above mentioned VBScript helps us to confirm that issue is not related to access. BASED ON THE ERROR , IT LOOKS LIKE AN ACCESS/SECURITY ISSUE. That's why I posted my question in this forum. if you still think this is not the correct forum, let me know. Thanks, Sanjay

Hi, Windows Server 2008 is different from Windows Server 2003, some applications run well in Windows Server 2003 may not run properly in Windows Server 2008. As you mentioned you want to migrate existing VB6 based components from win2k app server to windows2008(32 bit) server, it is recommend you to get further support in the corresponding community so that you can get the most qualified pool of respondents.
