The code is part of a COM object which is used in an ASP page. Using popen I
get the following error:

[Errno 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe /c
path_to\\ExtractingDummy.exe "path_to\\some_dummy.doc"'

The IUSER has the required rights on all these files. Don't know how to
solve that.

That looks like the info I was looking for. Thanks!
