When you run the vbs from the command prompt, are you doing that from the same server?

Yes from the same Server, but i login in the server from my login id and password but Qlik Server is running from different login id and password.

Most likely, your qlikview service accounts does not have sufficient security settings on the server for running "WScript.exe" which is normally located on c:\windows\system32

make sure the service account is allowed to run that wscript.exe and that .vbs files are associated with wscript.exe
