Win7 x64, WME x64 and WMCmd.vbs not working with foobar2000

If I'm not mistaken, the reason why I'm having trouble using WMCmd.vbs as a encoder in foobar2000 (x86) is because foobar2000 isn't properly looking in the x64 folder, rather the x86 folder for the script during execution? I have the encoder setting entered properly and it works from the command line, just not in foobar2000:

Code: [Select]
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder\WMCmd.vbs
wma
-a_setting Q100_44_2_16 -a_mode 2 -a_codec WMA9LSL -input %s -output %d
Lossless
16


foobar2000 is able to properly browse the 64-bit Program Files folder but I think it's not properly executing the script from the regular folder. Could this be the problem? The output I'm getting from foobar2000 is:

1 out of 1 tracks converted with major problems.

Code: [Select]

  Conversion failed: Object not found

It's as if the encoder isn't being executed and no output is being created. Or maybe I'm way off. Anyone know what might be going wrong here?

If you still have the same issue you can try this little tool. Define runx64.exe as Encoder and move cscript.exe to your parameters and things should start working.

There was an advice to use "c:\windows\sysnative\cscript.exe" so encoder settings should be:

Code: [Select]
c:\WINDOWS\sysnative\cscript.exe
wma
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder\WMCmd.vbs" -a_setting Q100_44_2_16 -a_mode 2 -a_codec WMA9LSL -input %s -output %d
