I'm sorry that I offended you. Tim's initial comment offended me and I
responded in kind. That was wrong of me.
I'm not getting any output from wget when I run it in a script from the task
manager.
The VBScript works when I launch it from the folder. Wget works and downloads
the files.
I've modified the vbscript to log the download from wget. The attached file is
the result after five minutes of waiting.
Here is the modified script commands to log the wget output:
'//This builds the address for WGET.
wgetURL = "https://"; & _
Platform & _
"cac.optuminsight.com/ui/" & _
Platform & _
"/ClientBin/" & _
SingleSol
runWGET = chr(34) & wget & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & "--output-file=get_singl.txt" & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & secureProtocol & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & noCheckCert & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & wgetURL & chr(34)
'//The value of runWGET is: "C:\Program
Files\GnuWin32\wget\wget.exe" "--output-file=get_singl.txt"
"--secure-protocol=auto" "--no-check-certificate"
"https://Previewcac.optuminsight.com/ui/Preview/ClientBin/singlesolution.client.xap";
objLogFile.WriteLine(Now & ": " & runWGET)
WshShell.Run runWGET
Do While not fso.FileExists(currentDirectory & "\" & singleSol)
Wscript.Sleep 1000
Loop
The script is hanging in the "Do While" loop waiting for the file to be created
from the Wget command.
The file get_singl.txt is not created five minutes after the task is triggered.
The "WshShell.Run runWGET" statement executes when I run the script by clicking
on it.
But, it seems to not run when the task manager starts it up.
Thank you and please accept my apologies on my short sighted reply.
Paul

I'm sorry, but I honestly feel slightly offended at this. You send a mail to
the bug reporting mailing list for a software project and are doubtful of the
level of expertise you'll be able to find?

I don't know vbscript and what you're really trying to do. What we're here to
debug is why Wget doesn't work. And it would be great if you can share the
debug output of Wget when it doesn't work.
