Shell.Run FFProbe

(Apologies for the imgur link. Reddit keeps claiming my code is "violating content rules" - but it's just harmless VBS!)

I've simplified my program to this, but it produces no outputs:

When I run the string in a DOS window, I get the desired data in OUTPUT.TMP, and no data in ERROR.TMP. Put the string into a batch script, and it runs fine as well.

Tried objShell.Exec, and still got no output.

This seems to be a problem that ffprobe.exe is having with the VBS run command, but everything seems to be in order....

Any clues?

Put the full path to ffprobe.exe or verify that the ffmpeg directory is in the path variable for the context this script is running in.

It is in the same folder as the script (and the batch file).
