WSH bug status (pre-WSH 5.6 beta)
Here's a list of WSH related problems (that I am aware of) that
existed prior to the WSH 5.6 beta 1. I have indicated which problems
I have tested myself and which are fixed in the 5.6 beta 1 and
which are not.
Note that is not an official bug list, only what I have gleaned for NG
posts. There are probably others that I didn't make note of at the
time or have never personally encountered.
Feel free to contribute to the list...
============================================================
WshNetwork
============================================================
- (not tested) Username/UserDomain problem (Win9x)
- (not tested) RemovePrinterConnection
- (fixed) SetDefaultPrinter was broken in an early 5.6 beta
============================================================
VBScript
============================================================
- (partial fix) Class level arrays and constant declarations
class level arrays work now but class level Const throws
syntax error
============================================================
WSC/WSF
============================================================
- (not fixed) <component> vs <scriptlet> problem with WSC
behaviors in IE via HTTP
- (fixed) <object> id attribute scope problem - unique
within <job> vs within entire file
- (fixed) wscript.quit intExitCode with remaining unexecuted
code
- (not fixed) multiple wscript.quit's in separate <script>
elements. That is, wscript.quit in one <script> element
allows "fall-thru" into global code in 2nd <script> element
(which crashes).
- (not fixed) can't create typelib with multiple
<component>'s in a <package>
- (fixed) GetObject("script:<filepath>") - host dies
silently if path is bad - in ASP you get 800c0005 error.
800c0010 if drive portion is not proper syntax (not x:\ or
\\server\share\ form)
800c0005 if path is not found or invalid (other than drive
portion)
- (not tested) <implements type="ASP" /> requires session
state enabled on IIS.
============================================================
Scripting Runtime
============================================================
- (fixed) FSO Drive.Size 2GB problem (Win9x)
- (not fixed) getting a file or folder object using a short
path name sets name/path same as shortname/shortpath. (this
is either a bug or an undocumented limitation)
============================================================
Script Control (now distributed with WSH)
============================================================
- (not tested) can't site as control on VB5 form (not
consistent problem - only some VB5 users)
