Re: vb script in XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you again.

I ran the command and the answer was "DllRegisterServer in
C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll succeeded"

But - when I again ran the vbs script I still recieve the error message
""There is no script engine for file extension" vbs"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll

Thanks for helping.

When I run it that way I get a popup labeled "Windows Script Host"
and the text of the popup is "There is no script engine for file
extension ".vbs" (The same thing happened months ago when I tried to run
one of
Kelly's vbs scripts).

I have a vb script ( currentpagefilesettings.vbs ) I would like to
run in my XP laptop, but when I click on it it does not run. I
also tried running it in a command prompt and get
'currentpagefilesettings.vbs' is not recognized as an internal or
external command,
operable program or batch file.'

How do I run it in XP?

Jeff

Your problem is not related to Windows XP itself but to your own
machine. What happens when you do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd{OK}
- Type this command:
wscript "c:\xxx\CurrentPageFileSettings.vbs"{Enter}

You must replace "xxx" with an actual folder name.
