Write to File VB script not working

Whenever I try and plug something into a vb component with this script:

If goWrite = True Then

system.IO.File.WriteAllText(filePath, x)

Else

End If
End Sub

It comes up with an error:

Error: Unable to write to output file 'C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Local\Temp\aa7c7ecc-bfbd-4487-af43-a40ec356ab70.dll': Could not execute CVTRES.EXE. (line 0)

This component was working in an earlier version of Grasshopper.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks

If you google CVTRES.EXE you get a number of people reporting problems with it and a bunch of possible solutions. Some people claim it's a trojan, others say that certain virus scanners block it.

Whatever it is, I doubt it's got anything to do with Rhino or Grasshopper. It's probably a system-wide problem. Though you could test this by writing a very small standalone application that also uses File.WriteAllText()
