    wsshell and windows 2000 (Issue)

    Hi I've recently put together a program and installed succesfully on a windows 2000 machine.

    However I seem to have an issue when trying to use wsshell. I have included the wshom.ocx within the package but I seem to get an error.

    If I comment out the wsshell stuff in my program then it works. Anyone have any ideas why this may be?.

    Thanks in advance

    What are you using for an installation package?

    Why did you include that file?

    What error are you getting?

    Other such questions...

    If using a scripting installer show your script.

    What is your script doing? It could be a permissions issue too depending n what it is doing.

    You can't deploy Windows Scripting components in bits and pieces reliably, and really shouldn't need to. Win2K comes with them already installed anyway.

    However it can be problematic to rely on them being available. Lots of "clever" anti-malware suites disable scripting through various techniques.
