[RESOLVED] WScript.Shell suddenly stopped working (Win32)

[Pedster]

This is more of a Windows OS problem than a PHP, even if I'm using PHP for it lol.

I don't know why this error is suddenly happening, as it was working fine.

Warning: (null)(): Invoke() failed: Exception occurred. Source: Unavailable Description: Unavailable in c:\webserver\htdocs\includes\functions.php on line 47

This is the offending lines (PHP of course):

// Make a new instance of the COM object
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
// Make the command window but don't show it.
$oExec = $WshShell->Run($cmdline, 0, true); << line 47

This is really annoying me.... Any Ideas?

Or advise me another way to execute external programs in PHP, that returns either a false or true........

TIA
