Force APM to execute Scripte in 32-bit mode

Hi,

I want to use Scripts which use CDO. Orion is running on a Server 2008 R2 x64, but CDO is only available as 32-bit download.

If I run the Script directly on the Orion Server, I have to use the cscript.exe from the c:\windows\syswow64 folder instead of the c:\windows\system.

When I use my Script in APM and chose vbscript as Script Engine it seems to run in 64 bit mode and is unable to create a cdo session.

Is there a value in the Scriptengine field I can use to force APM to use the 342-bit cscript.exe to execute my script or another way I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

You need to install 32 bit ActiveState perl or configure to run under 32 bit

It´s a VBScript, not Perl. But I´ll have a deeper look into your links now. IN the meantime I have rewritten the function in Powershell. I will try this also. Thanks for your reply :-)
