I'm using the following utility to convert VBS to EXEs: http://www.sharewareplaza.com/Vbs-To-Exe-download_47283.html.

What I've noticed is that after the conversion WshShell.Popup or WScript.Echo functionality no longer works? Thoughts anyone???

Thanks in advance.

Have you asked the 3rd party supplier?

Snipah is correct that the vendor is the place to start, but just as extra information, if they are using the Scripting API to do the work, then I suspect that there are some object that are not available. We have seen issues like this in the past with Quick Test Pro for instance.

I had reached out to the vendor prior to posting in the tech forum. Unfortunately, I have received no response.

Any ideas of alternate products that may work without issues?

Thanks

It depends on whay you want to convert the script to an EXE in the first place.

Simply want to be able to leverage WshShell.Popup or WScript.Echo functionality within the converted script to generate a pop-up on end client's system. Using a WMI command to remotely execute process on the end system, but it does not work unless the vbs has been converted to an exe.

Aah, so you just need an exe. You aren't worried about hiding passwords or anything like that?

In that case I would consider either a self extracting zip executeable or using the script packager that is in PrimalScript.
