I'm trying to make a self-extracting executable out of a .vbs with the IEXPRESS utility, but I keep getting this error message :

Unable to open the repor file 'C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder\~sssttt.RPT'

Here's a list of what I'm doing :

1. Launch C:\Windows\System32\IEXPRESS.exe
2. Under Welcome to IExpress 2.0 screen, select Create new Self Extracting Directive file, click Next.
3. Under Package purpose screen, select Extractfiles and run an installation command, click Next.
4. Under Package title screen, set value of textarea to Self Extracting Executable, click Next.
5. Under Confirmtion prompt screen, select No prompt, click Next.
6. Under License agreement screen, select Do not display a license, click Next.
7. Under Package files screen, add C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder\asdf.vbs
   and C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder\kjhkjhjh.bat, click Next.

asdf.vbs >> msgBox "Hello World!"
kjhkjhjh.bat >> cscript asdf.vbs

8. Under Install Program to Launch screen, select kjhkjhjh.bat under Install Program, click Next.
9. Under Show window screen, select Hidden, click Next.
10. Under Finished message screen, select No message, click Next.
11. Under Package Name and Options screen, browse C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder\sssttt.exe,
     select Hide File Extracting Progress Animation from User screen, click Next.
12. Under Configure restart screen, select No restart, click Next.
13. Under Save Self Extraction Directive screen, select Self Extraction Directive (SED) file:,
     browse C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder\pplld.SED, click Next.
14. Under Create package screen screen, click Next.
15. And then I get the error message :

Unable to openthe Report file 'C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder\~sssttt.RPT'.

16. And when I look in directory C:\Users\ADDDM\Desktop\New Folder two files have been created.

~sssttt.DDF and pplld.SED

But no .exe has been created.
So whatsup? What am I doing wrong???
