Run VBScript on server from javascript/php

Question

I have a Single Page Application written in JavaScript and PHP, I am trying to run an external .vbs file on my server?

I have tried using the php COM class as well as exec() to no avail. Has anyone successfully achieved this? Is it even possible?

By that, you should try the similar in PHP:

exec('wscript "C:/path/to/script.vbs"');

May I note that it DOES NOT have to be the whole path, path can be relative :-)

I wanted to write C:/ to indicate that this only works on Windows, but you should have known that already. :)
