Unable to get workflow event script to run on users desktop when using Scheduler.

I have a workflow event that launces a vb script that automates an application on the desktop. Everything works fine when running manually, but I have been unable to get it to work when using Scheduler. The workflow will run successfully, but the script won't work in the foreground as expected. Any help is appreciated, additional info is below:
