problem creating object "wscript.shell"

Question

my script looks like:

<script type="text/vbscript">        

Dim WshShell, oExec  
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("cmd /c cd D:\d & D: & winzip32.exe -min -a D:\a")

Do While oExec.Status = 0
     WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

WScript.Echo oExec.Status
</script>

The idea was to use explorer to open these files. The problem I'm having though is on the line: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") I keep getting the message ActiveX component can't create object: 'WScript.Shell'

I'm totally confused because this exact same code runs fine if I write it in a .htm file.
Why does my browser treat my .asp page differently than the .html file? How do i fix this problem?
