Where can I get the documentation for msscript.ocx?

[Ben321]

The ActiveX control called Microsoft Script Control appears to be undocumented. Nothing about it on the MS documentation website (that used to be called MSDN). Somebody else was looking for it here http://computer-programming-forum.co...2aef377a1f.htm and the reply from another poster is that it never was on the MS website, and to look for a help file called msscript.hlp. I can't find that file on my PC though, so I'm wondering if there's an alternative source for the documentation on the MS Script Control.

I've seen your posts in the VB6 section before, so I'm assuming you have access to the VB6 installation media. On my Visual Studio 6.0* install CD, the msscript.hlp file is present on CD1, in the OS\SYSTEM folder.

Good luck.

*I don't have just plain VB6 installation media, so I can't confirm if those files/paths are present on it.

Not an answer to your question, just additional info.

The Tablacus Script Control is a drop-in replacement for the MS Script Control.

The Tablacus Script Control is for 64-bit platforms.

The source code for the Script Control is available from GitHub.
