Windows Script Host error code: 8007007E

[slpei]

I'm running on XP with SP2. After un-installing a software, a line of visual
basic codes cannot execute. The error message is:

Windows Script Host

Script: c:\...\backup and rename.vbs
Line: 17
Char: 1
Error: The specified module could not be found.
Code: 8007007E
Source: (null)

Code for line 17 is:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Any help in fixing this is appreciated.

Hi,
Run diskcleanup, it may be remenants left as the path indicate <Script:
c:\...\backup and rename.vbs>

Programming the FileSystemObject
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2z9ffy99(VS.85).aspx

Another is to define your Variable (fso).
Run the debugger and see which line the error will occur and start to adjust.

Thanks Nass.

Diskcleanup did not solve the problem.

It appears that a .dll file or registry entry may have been damaged or
removed after running un-installer. Is there a way to try re-installing or
repairing "windows Script Host" ?

I did not try the debugger as the script has been running for months. It
stopped working only after the un-installation done.

What happen if you reinstalled that software and see if that will solve the
problem.
It looks like this program you uninstalled has overwritten a Dll file and
when uninstalled it damaged/corrupted this file which causing the WSH to
issue the error when parsing the VBs!
