Using the WScript.Shell in an ASP page on IIS 5.1

[John]

I tried running a simple script on an IIS 5.1 page and it
keeps saying permission denied.
<%
Dim Shell
Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Shell "cmd /c dir c:\ >> c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.log"
Response.write "<a href='test.log'>download</a>"
%>

Now on a (new install) IIS 5.0 server it worked but on a
(new install) 5.1 server it did not work....what is the
problem and why do i keep getting 500.100 asp error,
permission denied.

Any help would be usefull

run filemon and regmon from www.sysinternals.com and analyze the logs. Also ensure you don't have AV software with script blocking enabled. For
further, try here:
microsoft.public.scripting.wsh

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
