Valid SQL query fails when executed from VB Script

Question

I have SQL query that successfully runs in the SQL management studio, but when I'm running the same query from VB script it fails with error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ALTER'.

My SQL query is:

SET XACT_ABORT ON;
BEGIN TRANSACTION VersionBuild
BEGIN TRANSACTION
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.TimeTemplate
    (
    id int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1),
    startTime datetime NOT NULL,
    endTime datetime NOT NULL
    )  ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.TimeTemplate ADD CONSTRAINT
    PK_TimeTemplate PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
    (
    id
    ) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

GO
COMMIT

INSERT INTO [dbo].[TimeTemplate] ([startTime],[endTime])
VALUES ('2013-03-15 00:00:00.000','2013-03-15 23:59:00.000')

INSERT INTO [dbo].[Form] ([name] , [description], [dateCreated], [fileName])
VALUES ('TimeTemplates.aspx' , '' , getdate(), 'TimeTemplates.aspx')

;

If @@Error <> 0 BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION VersionBuild
END ELSE 
BEGIN
UPDATE Version SET version = 74;
COMMIT TRANSACTION VersionBuild
END

From MSDN:

GO is not a Transact-SQL statement; it is a command recognized by the sqlcmd and osql utilities and SQL Server Management Studio Code editor.

Also from the same article:

Applications based on the ODBC or OLE DB APIs receive a syntax error if they try to execute a GO command. The SQL Server utilities never send a GO command to the server.

Try removing your GO statements and break the script up into multiple commands.
