Error with WshShell.Run under W2K8 R2

Post by cal77 »

Hi,

I've got a problem with a compiled script under Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit). Perhaps it's a general problem with 64-bit installations and not only in this particular OS (I just tested it with W2K8 32-bit without R2 before of the actual problem)...:

Everything is working fine, if I execute the script as a VBS-file and all the commands are going through. After compilation, everything which ist working with the "WshShell.Run" command isn't executing anymore. The script ist still working further and it's finalizing it's work - but without these lines of code... If I use the same executable on a W2K8 32-bit, everything is working fine as well...

Do you have any idea, what the problem could be and how I can solve it?

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Regards,
Andre

This is common issues for any 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows. The one and only solution - waiting for 64-bit version of ScriptCryptor.

Is a 64 bit version of ScriptCryptor planed for release? Cal77, did you find a work-around for this problem? I'm working on a script that will be used in both 32 and 64 bit Windows and I use the WshShell.Run a lot in the code.

Update... I've just installed Windows 7 64 bit and I do not have this problem. Howerver, I do have a different problem. I'm not able to read or write to the registry on a 64 bit install of Windows 7. The error message I get when using objShell.RegRead is:

Error: Invalid root in registry key

If I run the code as a vbscript, it works fine. Any ideas? I've tried to read and write to the registry using WMI and with objShell.RegRead. Both ways have problems.

btw: I just packed all the executables I need to run with the shell into the same path as the compiled VBScript-EXE - with that, it will run everything as well under 64-bit installations!

That means: It's solved for me as well!

btw2: Would it be possible, to have a better save-option, so that I can save the whole compilation project including icon, includes and file-info?

Scriptcryptor on 64 bit Windows 7

Post by msacademy »

I am having the same issue. The program just does nothing and ends. It works fine as a vbe or when compiled with VBSEdit. And of course it works fine with script as a vbs.

HELP!!!!!

VBSedit doesn't compile scripts. It's only create sfx-archive with launcher.
