- What is your script?
- Can you copy the files using Windows Explorer?

Program Files is a restricted folder on Vista.
If you want access then don't install to Program
Files...or don't use Vista.

You need FULL Administrator Privilege to run a vbscript. You will get
access denied all the time.
If you have On Error Resume Next, the script will run, but will not edit the
registry.
