Unfortunately, using the 64-bit wscript.exe didn't change anything - same
behavior as before with excel hanging.
We are using 64-bit cygwin and 32-bit Excel (Excel 2007).

The problem is probably related to some of the changes between XP a

Yes, I was confused, by the system32, but I still managed to do what was
suggested. Previously I was running:
c:/Windows/System32/wscript.exe 'c:\cygwin64\home\Upar3\tst.vbs'
Then as suggested I ran:
c:/Windows/SysWow64/wscript.exe 'c:\cygwin64\home\Upar3\tst.vbs'

We are running cron under the specific cygwin login (not cyg_server).
Presumably there is a solution to this problem. We have 3 Win7 Pro PCs and
this works on one of the PCs (unfortunately, not the one where we need it to
work) and fails on the other two PCs.
Thanks for the two suggested links

Well, not so lucky anymore. Last night I re-ran my Excel test on the Win7 PC
that worked previously and now it doesn't work. So I guess some Win7 patch
must have come along and "fixed" something.

I changed the cron setup to use cygserver as Corinna suggested. I used
cron-config and cygserver-config to setup the cron and cygserver services and
passwd -R to establish my password. Normal cron jobs run under this setup but
Excel still hangs as it did before. I also tried this on the Win7

I'm not sure but I think Larry was saying the issue was that Excel by its
nature is an interactive program and that was the crux of the problem, even
though I was running Excel without any interactive input. (And Larry wanted to
emphasize this wasn't a cygwin problem per se - it was a problem w
