The .bat files requests the operating system only, but - I suppose it - the .vbs files requests some Visual Basic interpreter.

Be sure that soffice process has sufficiant rights to run .vbs script.
Especially if you're running functions on the operating system.

You must launch your VBscript in Elevated mode
Ask to your prefered MS forum
But for me, this is an XY problem. Why using an external program?

... if it is just about downloading a file I would recommend to use OOBasic rather than VBS
Code: Select all
oSimpleFileAccess = createUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")
oSimpleFileAccess.copy("https://www.google.de", "C:\users\martin\downloads\google.html")

This is the complete code. You just have to replace the target web file you want to download and the target storage location
(and add sub main / end sub)

Please upload your ODF type sample file here. Then we will able to examine the URL/Path syntax. (What string is located in the cells?)
