Hi,

can someone help me please before I go mad. I'm trying to get a bat file to run on the IIS server when a page loads. All the bat file does is create a new directory on the server. However, when the page loads it doesn't report any errors and the bat file doesn't run. I'm using the following:

<%
Set server_shell = Server.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
server_shell.Run ("cmd.exe /c a.bat")
%>

Also, it doesn't matter what path I put to the bat file. Even if I make up a non-existent file name, no error comes back to tell me there is a problem and the page loads as if everything is OK.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Does your IIS directory have Execute rights? If so, try logging on as the user the IIS runs under and execute the bat file. Remember a bat file will not pass back an error if it does not have the proper rights. Last suggestion, you might try creating the directory with the FileSystem Object rather than a bat file. It will throw an error on failure.

I have a problem with the same file...my VET antivirus says its a virus of some sort but cant get rid of it
Vet seems to delete the file but then it re copies itself.

only comes up when I boot the computer.
