VB script error in Cygwin

Hi, we have a VB script that is working fine when run in command prompt.
However we encounter when we run the VB script in Cygwin by using shell
script to invoke VB.  We've tried to use cscript and cygstart but also
encounter error.  Thanks!
Error: attach_sendmail.vbs(52, 1) CDO.Configuration.1: The specified
module could not be found.
Code: 8007007E
Commands tried:
cscript.exe <Path>/attach_sendmail.vbs "${EMAIL_SUBJECT}" "${EMAIL_TO}"
"<Path>/email_msg.3592.mail" "<Attached file>"
cygstart <Path>/attach_sendmail.vbs "${EMAIL_SUBJECT}" "${EMAIL_TO}"
"<Path>/email_msg.3592.mail" "<Attached file>"

As a first idea, check the differences in the path between the command
prompt and the Cygwin shell.
( %PATH% vs $PATH )

Try executing a VB script that's in your CWD that does something very, 
very simple like echos "Hello World". Does that work? If so start adding 
complexity until it breaks.

cscript should work for you. I believe I have an alias vbs="cscript 
/nologo".

Could you attach a copy of the files replacing sensitive data?

Re: VB script error in Cygwin

I usually write a CMD.EXE script that in turn, runs cscript and its *.vbs file.

Example:

The following lines are a cmd "batch" file called bar.cmd

	 <at> echo on
	echo.This is "bar.cmd," a CMD.EXE script, which will be invoked by Cygwin
	echo.Run a vbscript called "foo.vbs"
	cscript foo.vbs
	echo."foo.vbs" is complete
	echo.Done, now exiting "bar.cmd"
	exit

** First ** ---- run bar.cmd within a CMD.EXE window to be sure it and
foo.vbs are working properly outside of Cygwin.

** Second** ---- from within Cygwin's bash (or other) shell, run bar.cmd:

$ cmd /c bar.cmd

Watch for output or results from "foo.vbs" during the run.

There's no need to interject a needless additional process of cmd.exe. 
You can call cscript directly without a problem:
