VBS Will Not Run

I’ve spent two days on this and at a loss. I’m trying to uninstall Office Professional Plus 2010 which should be a no-brainier using the uninstall regkey GUID, but it simply doesn’t work (even when running it manually). So I’ve tried to go the VBS script path, using the scrubber that is found there. This does work when running manually but it will just not work using BF (BF doesn’t error). I used the SWD to attached a single VBS script with the command line: cmd.exe /C cscript.exe //B //Nologo OffScrub10.vbs

Pretty straightforward and again, works when running that same line manually. I used to run VBS scripts directly in the Action script, but that was a while ago and I forgot how (I’ll reserach that).

What am I missing or what else can I try? What’s a better approach?

Is this a 64-bit box?
Maybe “action uses wow64 redirection false” is missing in the action?
Something like:

if{x64 of operating system}
action uses wow64 redirection false
endif
waithidden cmd.exe /C Cscript.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client_BESData\CustomSiteUninstall__Download\OffScrub10.vbs" /ALL /Quiet /norestart
