I am trying to use the WScript Object model to create .lnk files and to open applications on the client side.
I have tried using javascript and vbscript e.g

var shell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );

but I get an error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Automation server can't create object"

Any help would be gratefully received

Thanks

Matt

what about

Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objWShell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\yourdir\"

I sorted it out in the end. I guess I should have replied to my own post.

Thanks anyway


function RunFileInClient(myFile)
{
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec(myFile);
}

MAttA,

The Win2000 upgrade probably backleveled the binaries for WSH as well as the scripting engines and
scripting runtime to v5.1 versions...

Upgrade IE to 5.5 or do a separate Windows Script 5.5 upgrade...

I recently got a new PC and guess what, it no longer works. I have installed the last version of the Scripting but to no avail. I am getting the same automation error as I was when I first logged the message.
Again any pointers would be gratefully received
