I wrote an .HTA/.vbs Package to do the following:

Run HTTP Request
Parse XML Response
Take Node (Which is a URL)
Fill a drop down with the values
Upon change of the ComboBox (A URL is selected) the binary file is downloaded

        However, if I use strMatch instead of "C:\Temp\123.mp3" inside "Download(URL,myMatch)"
    it fails everytime time :(   Please Please Help !!

I have done everything I can think of regarding passing this value, ensuring its a string etc... Nothing works unless I specifically hardcode the path/filename
I think it has somethign to do with the .HTA side of things because I have used this code before and passed it a string... (Just not in an .HTA)
I have checked file permissions, everything seems fine, plus the script can write to the directory no problem if I hardcode sDest

         Error Output

Err.Number: 3004
Err.Description: Write To File Failed
Err.HelpContext: 1240664
Err.Source: ADODB.Stream

are you sure that strMatch has a value?

Yup, 10000% sure, I have done plenty of reading.

My guess... Because its running as .hta, the context, locale, does not allow the stream to save without having some type of hardcoded name.
The exact same code works if I pass it a string, but thats run as .vbs, which is clearly different then mshta.exe

I suppose this was the result of security exploits against the "ADODB.STREAM" spyware etc...

I am working to see if I can use a script packager to resolve the issue, call an external script to do some utility work, either download the file, or perform the rename.

Well I figured out a way around the ADODB.Stream problem, had to do with running in .HTA context.
