Scripts won't run in XP

Bill Bake #1 / 4	Scripts won't run in XP Hello All, I have several scripts that run file in 98SE, Me, 2K, and NT4, but they do not run in XP (nothing happens when I run them). All OS's except XP have been upgraded to WSH/VBScript 5.6. Here's an example: ******************************************************* Option Explicit Dim objWshShell, objExec1, objArgs Set objWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments If objArgs.Count = 0 Then WScript.Echo "1st run" ElseIf objArgs(0) = "2ndBoot" Then With WScript .Sleep 100 .Echo "2nd run" .Quit End With End If ' Write the reg entry objWshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce\Re-entrant", "C:\Scripts\Re-entrant\Re- entrant.vbs 2ndBoot", "REG_SZ" ' Reboot the system objWshShell.Run Chr(34) & "..\Utilities\RestartWindows.exe" & Chr(34), 1, True ******************************************************* Thanks in advance for any help. Bill .

MV #2 / 4	Scripts won't run in XP It appears to be OK; does the registry entry not show up? And does RestartWindows.exe run OK on XP if you run it by itself? -- Please respond in the newsgroup. I've still got unread email from the week Win95 was released, if that tells you anything. http://www.bittnet.com/winremote http://www.bittnet.com/scripting Quote: > Hello All, > I have several scripts that run file in 98SE, Me, 2K, and > NT4, but they do not run in XP (nothing happens when I run > them).

Bill Bake #3 / 4	Scripts won't run in XP Thanks for the quick reply. It's not just this script, I just included it as an example. All my scripts are not running.

Windows XP comes with WSH 5.6, so it looks like you WSH install is corrupt. Try the following (create a System Restore Point first maybe): Locate the file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf (inf is a hidden folder), right click, select "Install". -- torgeir
