CreateObject() with ID CS2 broken in Vista (VBA)?

Question

I posted earlier under a fairly ambiguous subject, so I am re-trying here--forgive the dual post, please...
but I think I have narrowed it down. It appears to be a problem with InDesign CS2 and Vista. I can't get any application to call CreateObject successfully without an "Out of memory" error on the call: even from the command line using .vbs.
Does ANYONE have any idea what's going on? Or any ideas? Ole, you out there?
Thanks,

I'll try that. In the meantime, here's something for you. The following script (saved as test.vbs) actually WORKS from the command prompt "cscript test.vbs":
' BEGIN CODE
Dim WSHShell
Dim myInDesign
Dim myDocument
Dim myMessage
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run """C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe""", 0, False
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS2")
myInDesign.Activate
Set myDocument = myInDesign.Open("C:\Users\Joel\_Template.indd")
set myMessage = new progMessage
myMessage.setMessage(myInDesign.ActiveDocument.name)
myMessage.Display
myInDesign.Quit
Set myInDesign = Nothing
Class progMessage
Private messageText
public sub setMessage(s)
messageText = s
end sub
public sub Display
msgbox "Message: " & messageText
end sub
end class
' END CODE
So, you CAN create classes within vbs (at least those run from the command prompt and from within InDesign) AND it seems to create the InDesign object just fine. Weird. This code snippet may help your diagnosis...
UPDATE:
Now, it's not working from the command line. It IS working from the .vbs script in InDesign. Weird. It's always fun trying to find an error when it occurs inconsistently!
