Wscript.CreateObject error on ASP page

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

The statement in an asp page:

dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell" )

now gives this error:
VB err= 424,Object required

If I use setobjShell=Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ), I get the error
VB err= 5,Invalid procedure call or argument


I believe it stopped working in July 2004 after a security update. I have
re-registered the appropriate dlls and ocxs.

Does anyone have an idea? I am trying to use this object so that I can
execute a batch file that was created earlier in the program.

Thanks
