Scripting a BAT file with > to file on K1000 fails

I have a script that uses the Launch Batch File to run a process (a CSCRIPT to list priters but I've seen this with other things)

It does this

CSCRIPT.EXE PRNMNGR.vbs -L > c:\InstalledPrinters.txt

However, when it runs it inserts an extra 1 after the > and the pipe fails. If the BAT is double-clicked it works properly.

I think it may be specific to Windows XP.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Is there anyway you can take a screenshot of your setup? I'm running a vbs and outputting to a txt and I'm not experiencing problems with it. What version agent/server are you running? You might want to enable logging on one of your test machines to verify what exactly is happening.

cscript c:\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -l > c:\InstalledPrinters.txt
