Windows Script Host Automation

elmarfv · 2007-01-04

Hi guys,

I used the Windows Script Host to write a value into the computers Registry and it works fine on my laptop that is running Windows XP. Then I took it to the clients who is going to run it on a server that runs Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. Than it did not work. It gives me an error that the automation needs to be registered and installed. Even though I can see the automation, I don't seem to be able to use it. I was wandering how I should handle it, either find a suitible replacement for the Windows Script Host Automation, or register the one I used? I don't know what the replacement should be and I don't know how to register the one I used.

Any input would be appriciated.

Try to compile the objects on clients computer. If they are using a different version because of diff OS, then change it to the one they have on their pc.

The Object did compile on their PC. Do you, or anybody, know what other Automation or OCX's i could use instead?

Make sure the user has permission to run the automation. try to test it as local admin.

The user used to do the testing was a super, both the one logged onto the computer, and the one logged into Navision.

Search the forum, I posted somewhere how to use this automation under Win2000. You need to use another class within it which works under all Win versions ('Windows Script Host Object Model'.IWshShell_Class under Win XP, but this class is not in the selection list...)
