I need to get the output of a cmd, but it is not working.
Other .exe works, why is it inconsitant, is there another way to get the output?

To be honest with you, I have never researched the issue in depth, but some apps just don't play well with .Exec. I suspect that it has to do with the way the app handles StdOut. For situations like this I just pipe the output to a temp file in the command then read the file contents and delete the file.

Try slowing down the execution, wait for it to complete.

vbs runs very fast and will end before everything is done working.

Some applications are designed to detect redirected pipes and quit or other things.
Runas and Net Use come to mind. They don't like their pipes being redirected.
