Having spent the day looking around and finding nothing but other people searching for this answer I gave up and dug in to find out what I needed to do it. Here it is, at least what I have found so far.

Copy cdosys.dll & msoert2.dll from a Vista machine to your boot.wim file.

Add the following command to startnet.cmd:

regsvr32 -s cdosys.dll

That's it. Run your scripts and send your mail.

I've not attempted attaching a file yet, but all of the other standard functions of CDO.Message have worked so far.

Thanks. Now I can have my app send me emails and text messages to my phone.

Very nice.
