Depends on what is script is doing. Maybe Microsoft changed some part of
the object model that makes his script fail.

I only made a single change to the Win32::OLE regression tests for Excel
2007: All path names must now use backslashes as path seperators; Excel
no longer seems to works with forward slash separated path/filenames. So
maybe that is his problem.
