Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to install (or reinstall) WSH?

I've searched the forum for "install WSH" and "reinstall WSH" but couldn't see anything relevant.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

This error:
Object required: "Wscript"

Is raised by the last line of this code:
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "notepad"
Wscript.Sleep 1000

\\edit by Snipah: for in-depth info for this script: http://www.visualbasicscript.com/m_26981/tm.htm

I have tried installing "Windows Script 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000"
from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0A8A18F6-249C-4A72-BFCF-FC6AF26DC390&displaylang=en

I have also searched the forum using "Object required Wscript" but I can't find the answer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1) it is not a promise, but try this: Set WScript = CreateObject("WSH.WScript")
2) are you admin on the PC
3) how is your Security setting for IE and windows? Any virusscanner that may be bugging?
4) what OS are you running?
5) is the above mentioned the complete script?

Snipah,

Unfortunately, your code:
Set WScript = CreateObject("WSH.WScript")

produces this error:
ActiveX component can't create object: "WSH.Wscript"

Hmm, looks like I'm outa luck. Maybe AutoIT or my own slideshow, but I hate not knowing why this doesn't work.

Thank you.

have you considered the other options i gave you? It cannot be that any windows will not run Wscript....unbelievable...

Unfortunatly i cannot VNC your machine.......btw AutoIT is superb, many many many possibilities....

Let us know when you're stuck or whatever...it was fun helping you out as much as possible..

C-ya around.....

Sorry, didn't see you other comments.

2) Yes, I am the admin -- though I'm not running the code as Admin
3) Security is low -- also the file has "hta" extension which seems to help with security. Virus scanner disabled
4) OS = XP SP 2
5) Script was bigger, but I've isolated these lines in a seperate file for debugging:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

</script>

file is saved as "test3.hta"

Try it again but name the test script as "test3.vbs"

'-------------------------------------------------------
Dim objShell
Dim WScript
Set WScript = CreateObject("WSH.WScript")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "notepad"
Wscript.Sleep 1000
objShell.SendKeys "Hello"
'--------------------------------------------------------

That will take care of the issue you're having. You won't be able to use WScript in an HTA.

\\ edit: Hey Country73, didn't see you here...guess you were first, sorry for my double post....

AHA, you never mentioned you'd use it in HTA.....i also get the same error...

Paste the following in a VBS file: (test.vbs)

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "notepad"
Wscript.Sleep 1000
objShell.SendKeys "Hello"

i am almost certain this'll work, right??? HTA sometimes bugs with the Wscript.Shell, then i use the <object...> TAG

Just a little quicker on the draw.

I ran into the same issue when I started messing around with HTA's.
Can't remember where I found it, or should I say information on it, but I wound up using a Timer to take care of the wscript.sleep.
It should be something like - window.setTimeout

Here's a little more information on it: window.setTimeout()

Yes, that's it. You guys are good!

Sorry about not mentioning hta. I tried "htm" and "hta" -- no difference, so I thought it irrelevant. I didn't know about "vbs". I am very new to VBS.

I'll go explore how to change the file to vbs format (I have html in there).

Can I ask if it's possible to move the mouse in an hta or htm file? And how?

Regardless, thank you for solving this -- I searched and searched the web, and I would have kept going for quite some time.

Glad we could help out!

I don't have a "lot" of experience with HTA's, just started messing around with them myself, but I'm not sure about the whole "mouse movement" you're looking for.
When getting into HTA's you'll need to look at a lot more HTML and VBScript coding.
Right now I just use my HTA's for scripts that I've had to create to handle several different tasks that requires the user's input. It just makes it a lot cleaner and easier to follow, especially when dealing with individuals that are not used to VBScript.
(Basically creating a form for them to fill out instead of going through a lot of "pop-up" InputBox's for them to fill in.)

Well, thanks again. If I had to emote, I'd probably:

Now I'll go explore how to isolate the vbs from the html file.

Snipah,

You said:

Could you possibly show me an example of such?

Place this in the HEAD section before TITLE:

<OBJECT ID="objShell" CLASSID="clsid:{72C24DD5-D70A-438B-8A42-98424B88AFB8}" ProgID="WScript.Shell.1"></OBJECT>

experiment with the .1 it may be different on your system, you could also check the registry for that CLSID and see what's it called...

Snipah,

That's it! You did it!

I'm sure I would never have figured that out.

Thank you.

You know....I've been looking for that CLASSID for about a month now.
