Having said that, are you sure the input and output parameters are even being passed to the command line? My suggestion, build the command line and replace the input/output parameters with the actual equivalents.

SETin vbscript doesn't set an environment variable; it assigns the reference-type value on the right-hand side to the variable on the left-hand side. Since you've specifiedOption Explicitand you haven't declared theinputoroutputvariables, this should fail. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4afksd44%28v=vs.84%29.aspx[^]
