Variable is undefined on Set oShell ...

[genu]

I'm tring to run a vb script on the command line and I get this error :

Srcipt: xyz.vbs
Line: 98
Char: 1
Error: Variable is undefined: 'oShell'
Code: 800A01F4
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

and this is the code on line 98:

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Do I have to define a variable for oShell ?
What I'm doing wrong ?

Any help is realy apreciate.

I use this:

Dim wShell
Set wShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Thanks that worked, but I'm getting into another problem:

Line100: The system cannot find the file specified!

as the code looks like this:

...
34: cPath = "c:\\Program Files\\Ensim\\Webppliance\\util\\"
...
45: cCmd = "adddomain -s " & cXML
...
98: Dim oShell
99: Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
100: Set oExec = oShell.Exec(cPath & cCmd)
...

The path is ok I have checked many times.

Are you sure all those double '\' are correct?

I have tried as well with single "/" but same message.
I've note that when I go to the command prompt I cannot run the program simply typing c:\\Program Files\\Ensim\\Webppliance\\util\\adddomain it works only using short file names C:\\PROGRA~1\\Ensim\\WEBPPL~1\\util\\adddom~1.bat or using double quotes "c:\\Program Files\\Ensim\\Webppliance\\util\\adddomain".

Unfortunatelly I cannot change the code to use short file names and I don't know how to specify in the code to send the command with double quotes.

[Amleto]

did you try with single '/' or '\' ?


you could just try

...
98: Dim oShell
99: Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
100: Set oExec = oShell.Exec("c:\\Program Files\\Ensim\\Webppliance\\util\\adddomain  -s")

That I cannot do because the cCmd variable gets changed.

[Amleto]

what about:

cPath = "'" & "c:\\Program Files\\Ensim\\Webppliance\\util\\" & "'"

etc.

[genu]

same error

[Amleto]

well make a new folder in a path that doesnt contain any spaces, and try and run an .exe file in there to test exactly what the problem is

[genu]

sorry Amleto,

I cannot do this because some other applications are running in the same folder.

[Amleto]

that wont matter.
