JavaScript question

[charan1976]

I'm trying to use JavaScript to invoke the SocketScan exe from the web page. Below is the code:

function startScan() 
{
	//Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
	var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
	WshShell.run("\Program Files\Socket\SocketScan Software\ScktScan.exe");
}

I have also tried:

function startScan() 
{
	Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
	//var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
	WshShell.run("\Program Files\Socket\SocketScan Software\ScktScan.exe");
}

But I get the Error: Automation Server can't create object.
Source: (null)

Firstly, is it because ActiveX objects cannot be invoked in PIE? Otherwise, am I giving the path to the exe wrong? The Program Files path is directly under My Device. Should I add "My Device" in front of the path?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
TIA.
