<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
We have a new install of Windows 2008 r2.  For some reason, BBWin will not run the couple of external scripts we have.   If I run them by hand (cscript sricpt.vbs) from the command line, I have no problem.  But if not it seems the scripts are being ignored.<br>
<br>
For example,<br>
<br>
        <load value="c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //B C:\BBWin\ext\SystemCheck.vbs" timer="5m" /><br>
<br>
Event log shows the externals.dll is being loaded.  But can't see what's wrong.  Nothing in logs.  (note we default the installation to C:\BBWin).  Disk, CPU, msgs, processes correctly report.  Just not these externals.<br>
<br>
I tried version 0.12 and 0.13 and still no luck.  Any clues?<o:p></o:p></p>
