title: Strangely cscript does not save xlsx as xlExcel8 and failed silently
body: <p>I was using MSOffice2010 and cscript (Windows Script Version 5.8), trying to do things as simple as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  1. Open a native xlsx file 
    2. Save it as xls file (xlExcel8)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I did was:</p>
  
  <h1>xcx.vbs</h1>
  
  <p>' <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff198017(v=office.14).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff198017(v=office.14).aspx</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>  Const xlExcel8 = 56
  
    Set wdo = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
  
    Set wdoc = wdo.Workbooks.Open("c:\path\to\foo.xlsx")
  
    wdoc.SaveAs "c:\path\to\bar.xls", xlExcel8
  
    wdoc.Close
  
    wdo.Quit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To run it:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>cscript xcx.vbs</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Then, the script finished without any error. But I can't find <code>c:\path\to\bar.xls</code> at all. </p>
  
  <p>I'd appreciate if some one could show me a right way to go, thank you :)</p>
