Running VBScript From UIAccess VB App Using MSScriptControl?
May 18, 2010
I'm trying to run some VBSCRIPT from within my application. This works fine when I run my program from within VB. But once I add "UIAccess=true" to my manifest and digitally sign my exe with my certificate, I am unable to run the code any more. It gives errors when I try to interface with any program saying "429: ActiveX component can't create object:'myApp.Application'". Anyone have any idea why it would run fine in the IDE but not with an application with uses UIAccess? Here is the code:
I have a vbs script which captures file information and then exports it to a csv file. I need to run the script on main drives such as C:, E:, I: and more, but each time I run for the main directory I get "Permission Denied" when I try to run it for a subfolder example C:Program Files it works fine. I have tested this on different desktop machines and servers with full admin accounts and still get it.What could be the issue with this code. test.vbs
'the below just creates a text file for my own sanity. Both files get 'created so I know the service is running as it should and not crashing. 'timer ticks every minute so if I delete the files once they have been 'created, they get recreated
Dim TextFile As New StreamWriter("C:LRQuadrant" & "test111" & ".txt") TextFile.WriteLine("blah blah blah") TextFile.Close()
I have a file called john.vbs. It only contains the following vbscript
If I run this through command prompt, it does as I'd expect.'Nothing happens when the below code gets run.
Dim foo As New System.Diagnostics.Process foo.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "c:" foo.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True foo.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"
I have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.
I am currently trying to maintain a VB6 module that it is being called from a vbscript. The module needs to have a reference to the MSScriptControl.ScriptControl COM object. However, I obtain a 80040154 error. I went ahead and registered the component using the C;WindowsSysWOW64Regsvr32.exe but then I get that the entry-point DllRegister was not found.
I figured out my more recent issue, which took me 2 days all because my string functions are giving errors in VBScript using MSScriptControl, but any function that returns another datatype value is returning correctly.
How to call a function in vb.net DLL from VBScript?I did the following: I create public class named Class1 in vb.net.I go to Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt and go to my class dll - C:MyappinDebug and type following command tlbexp myDLL.dll after that i get message Assembly exported to C:MyappinDebugmyDLL.tlb After this I type following command regasm myDLL.dll and i get following message RegAsm : warning RA0000 : No types were registered
how to convert from vbscript to vb.net im trying to convert the TestGenericHid.wsf script to vb.net (wheter partially or fully but im fur sure trying to do the initialization sequences) but usually the development team of a ms sdk posts it in managed code like c# or vb.net. If someone has already converted this please post but i have attemped myself to do this already but cant get any straight responses from vb.net interop guys or wdk guys so here is the full code sample:url..Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt.
I wish to convert the vbscript below to vb.net. Note: the functions from the script are also in a dll file but you can install the dsf runtime which comes with the windows ddk and just use the com component it installs from vb.net.

How come the Script below keeps displaying the Else message until it finds the string? I was expecting for it to display 1 single Box whether it was found or not? why does it keep itterating through the Else condition?
Dim myArray,myString,myString2,intCount myString = "my;string;question;hope;you;can;answer" myString2 = "question"
The VB application I am creating runs a external vbscript. The vbscript is run using cscript.exe so the output text from the script is in the CLI. I need this outputted text to be in a ListBox is my application
I have a DetailsView that I am using to insert an enrollment form into the database. Currently every functions fine, with one exception. Since there is a terms and agreement checkbox at the bottom of the form that I cannot validate using the existing validation controls, I'm trying to handle this in the VBScript.The problem is that the InsertCommand in my ASP executes before the Button_Click sub does, so the form is submitted before the checkbox validates. Can someone tell me how to move the InsertCommand from the ASP to the code file so that I can make sure it doesn't execute until AFTER my button validation? Here is my code:
I have this snippet of VB.NET code that I want to convert to VBScript. It basically starts Microsoft Word, displays the Open dialog and mail merges the selected document.
Dim oMissing As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value Dim oEndOfDoc As Object = "\endofdoc" Dim oFalse As Object = False 'Start Word and create a new document. Dim oWord As Word._Application Dim oDoc As Word._Document
I have a process by which I push icons to distant Vista based PCs on our domain...it's all automated. One of these itemsis a shortcut (call it MYLINK.LNK) which I put in the user's Start Menu. That shortcut calls a .WSF script that, in turn, runs a JScriptfollowed by a VBScript.The JScript installs a commercial product and the VBScript is used to clean up after itself. One of those 'clean up' jobs is to delete the icon that kicked off this entire thing.
So I have : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile("C: empstartload.wsf")

An application I maintain has been around since VB6 days - ported to .Net 1.1, and now being updated/rewritten across to .Net 3.5 The application provides a mechanism to run VBScripts - this was done in a highly integrated way - allowing the program to parse multiple .vbs files and produce a list of all of the subroutines and functions - which were then available within the application alongside core functions.
Previously this was an embedded msscript.ocx - in the first .Net conversion, this was wrapped in Interop.MSScriptControl.dll, however, on Windows 7 this just isn't working. It looks like this is really not the way to be doing this anyway - Microsoft seem to be trying to kill vbscript.
Is there a 'supported' way of using VBScript, or is it time to move on? and if so, where is there to move to that provides the same sort of functionality?
Right now I just want to be able to read (Echo out) the Value of "VALUE" in an XML element node, and eventually modify it. This will be run with the Windows Scripting Host from a Windows command line. Here is the line of XML I want to read from:
I have a web site that includes code to move data between databases, generate Office documents, etc. I also have a need to duplicate some of this work in batch. Where they overlap, I've had to code things two different ways -- one for the web site (using server-side vb.net) and one for batch (using vbscript). I know you can run batch from vb.net. I'd like to do the opposite -- from batch I'd like to access some code that I've already written using vb.net classes, web.config, and Office interop assemblies. I tried some of this in PowerShell, but it took 45 minutes to generate a report that runs in 20 seconds through the web interface.
I took the dive into learning VBScript due to some server side scripts that I work with. During a course I ran into Powershell and did some Google searching. From what I was reading, VBScript is good for legacy applications and Powershell is the way to go for Win7. I did not run into anything telling me of this being true or if its a false statement and VBScript will be used for Win7 and Win8. Should I look into learning Powershell and abort my VBScript for now and just worry about VBScript for legacy systems?
I'm trying to send an email via a VBScript. When I run this script via a field SQL db field VBscript trigger, nothing happens. Here is my code -

Now, if I comment out all the statements after the Try statement, my message box appears as I coded it which means I am able to test if Sample1 = 'OK'. Even with the System.exception I am not able to display any error message. I am also pretty certain that I have the correct smtp server name. One other thing, we are using Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange if that means anything. And also, pls note that this is a purchased system that I am working with and they have scripts with extension name of ".lvb". This is actually a trigger script based on a specific field value. The trigger script runs and as I had mentioned will display the message box if I were to comment out the statements after the TRY statement.
What I am wanting to do is create an application that has the ability to create a VBScript that the user can create in a my form that would have the intelisense included. Is this posible? you know something like adding VBA to my app in a way. Is this at all possible?
lI think I almost have this done but I get and error "'Public ReadOnly Property Right As Integer' has no parameters and its return type cannot be indexed."here is the line causing the error:
