Hello!
My problem is that when I try to run a VBscript it doesn't work.

I have the Windows Script Engine component, and I added to the data in
the registry
key %1, and also tried "%1"%* that I found in the registry on another
machine.

But it still won't work; the message is now that the VBScript is not a
valid win32
application.

Any help is appreciated

Rosemarie,

Did you try prefacing your vbscript command with wscript
when you run it? Like this: wscript yourscript.vbs

Rosemarie,

You also need to make sure you have the VB6 runtime
component in your build.

Rosemarie,
Copy and paste this to a text file and save it as a .reg; run it and it will
fix your problems.

I am so grateful, this really worked. It turned out that I allready had the vb6
runtime library, in spite not the special component for it.

But this made the trick.

Thank you very mutch.
