[TheAutomator]

$VBS = ObjCreate("ScriptControl")
$VBS.language = "VBScript"
Global Const $Nothing = $VBS.eval("Nothing")
$VBS = $Nothing

Can someone say me what i'm doing wrong here?

I imagine it's going to have something to do with windows.

You should be checking for object too.

$VBS = ObjCreate("ScriptControl")
If Not IsObj($VBS) Then
    Exit MsgBox(0,'Error', 'Cannot create object' & @CRLF & 'Error: ' & @error)
EndIf

$VBS.language = "VBScript"
Global Const $Nothing = $VBS.eval("Nothing")
$VBS = $Nothing

JohnOne,

 

Error:

---------------------------

Cannot create object

 

Error: 0

OK

I'm not 100% but windows comes with oleviewer to check if it's available on your machine.

JohnOne,

I'm not 100% but windows comes with oleviewer to check if it's available on your machine.

 

downloaded it and it is running.

what do i do next?

I see that all the default script languages are present.

I'd try compiling as x86 and trying that.

[TheAutomator]

JohnOne,

now it works, so it's a 64bit problem then 

thanks for the help JohnOne 

[EDIT:]

put this on top in the au3 script and you don't have to compile it every time:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

Just an FYI, I'm getting the same error message on my computer, Win 7 x64.

EDIT: Just saw the other posts, it worked for me when I ran it as x86.

I don't quite get what you are trying to say..

also, what is "FYI" ?

TheAutomator.

[BrewManNH]

It's an initialism which stands for "For Your Information".

I said I initially saw the same error message as you did, the first line.

Then I edited it to say that running it in x86 mode allowed it to run without an error, the second line.

Thanks, TheAutomator. I was struggling with the same problem at your solution worked.
