WScript Object missing - 10/27/2008 4:46:52 AM

Status: offline 		Hi i've searched though the forum for an answer to my question but didn't find it.
Since 3 days i work with VBS and i must create an application where one can select more files (with a Browse File Dialog) and save them as "path list" in a .ini file...so it's no web application.

I've been looking for some examples and i've fond them.. as i wanted to compile one of them, the Dialog Box opens, but when i close it i got a runtime error (Expected Object: WScript) 'cause of "WScript.Quit".
My code:

      

This is the easier example that i have..but the others need also this Object as there are instructions like:
- WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")
- Wscript.Stdin.Readline
- WScript.Echo

A friend of mine said that maybe some dlls are missing, another one said that maybe that's a "Rights" problem..but i'm logged as admin and i already run the command: regsvr32 VBScript but all is like at the beginning.

If anyone has an idea, would be appreciate :)

thank you in advance!

Regards,
Al

WScript.Quit

Status: offline 		I don't recall anything similar. Could you post the rest of your code? I can't think what bearing it may have, but like I say I ran the sub that you posted with no problem whatsoever.

Status: offline 		the rest of the code works 'cause it doesn't use wscript methods...and there's some functions that are dedicated to a system which i work with...
but anyway i created a new vbs file with only the code i sent before...the popup box. and it doesn't work.

even if i copy it in VB it gives an error and the debug stops at Wscript.Quit line

Status: offline 		Well VB definitely stop at that. How exactly are you running this? Are you saving it as a .vbs file then double clicking it?

how do you start your script? I ask, because the WScript object is make available
by the cscript/wscript scripting hosts and Excel - or any other host - must fail.

Status: offline 		no i have another application that loads the script and runs it at the beginning..and then the script answers to all events that happen in this application. the file is a .vbs but it could also be a .xxx 'cause there's a pointer on it.

Status: offline 		Looks like this application (testing tool?) doesn't provide a suitable WScript object.
Either find a compatible object/class in that application or rewrite your code to
work without WScript.

so i'd better start to think to another way to write my code.
how can i open a Browse For File Dialog Box, without the wscripts methods?
i'm not really an expert in vbscript :(

anyway thanks for the answers!

Al

CreateObject() instead of WScript.CreateObject()
MsgBox instead of WScript.Echo
FileSystemObject to read/write files
Exit Sub instead of WScript.Quit
