OnFirstParentStart WMI/GetObject Error

Hi folks.

I'm having some issues when running a particular line of code in a ThinApp VBS.

The code works for me fine on its own, but not inside a ThinApp package.

I was curious if it may be some ThinApp settingfor the package, as it appears that others do not have a problem with this.

You can see some sample code here which does not work for me:

http://www.horizonflux.com/thinapp-scripting-launch-virtual-application-only-if-a-specific-process-is-not-running/

The particular error is:

Error Line 21, Char 1: Set objWMIService = GetObject(“winmgmts:\\” & strComputer & “\root\cimv2″)
Source: Microsoft VBScript Runtime Error
Description: Object Required: ‘objWMIService’

As I said, the code works fine on it's own outside of a ThinApp application, and since this is being published on other sites I assume it works correctly inside ThinApp applications for other people.

Any help you can give would be appreciated!!

Thanks.
