I had been using InstalledPrograms.vbs, a VBScript script written by Bill James, to query systems for a list of installed programs. I ran the script today while logged into a user's account on a Microsoft Windows 7 system, I received an error message because the script was in a sudirectory beneath
C:\Program Files
and the script's output file is stored by
default in the directory from which the script is run, but the user's account
did not have permission to write to that directory. To fix the problem,
rather than move the script to another directory or run the script from
an administrator account, I added VBScript code from Rob van der Woude's
Browse Folder Dialog function so that a user can select the
directory to be used for the output file.
