Hi Ron,

The "regsvr32 wshom.ocx" trick did it.  Pffffft, what a relief.

Thanks for your support.  Next time you are in Brussels, give me a call.  I'll buy you a few beers.

Regards,
Nand

(PS: For other people having the same problem, don't forget to issue this command from a command prompt window which you started as administrator.)

You need to ensure you compare like with like. Some bits of VBSCript obviously work with GenoPro on your Vista system since all the skin files are scripts. Try pasting the following into a .vbs file and run it.

 Dim oShell, nResponse
 Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 nResponse = oShell.Popup("Hello World?", 0,"Test VBScript Shell" , 32 + &H40000)

This tests the same interface that is failing (Wscript.Shell). It runs on my XP Ok.

Update You could also try running regsvr32 wshom.ocx from a command prompt. Apparently wshom.ocx provides the WScript Shell feature. If you don't have wshom.ocx in your Windows\System32 folder then that is your problem.

I took a high speed course in VBScripting and created a small script (a variant of the "hello world" classic).  Guess what?  It ran without problems.

So it looks to me that the run-time stuff on Vista is OK.  The problem must be located somewhere else.

I found a remark in one of the Vista forums about Service Packs and their side-effects.  They recommend to remove and re-install the SP.  So I removed Vista/SP1 (which I had installed last week) but this did not change anything.  I re-installed SP1, still no change.  The error persists.

Is there a simple way to generate this error (without the use of GenoPro)?  If I could isolate the code it would be easier to debug and get support from MS.

No wonder why so many are downgrading from Vista to XP.  My sister purchased a notebook loaded with Vista and could not run the software that was necessary for her work, including printers and accounting software.  In the end, we installed XP.

Silly me.  I believed VB6 and VBS shared big parts of the run-time code.  Another illusion blown away.

Anyhow, Windows Script 5.7 aborted during the installation, claiming that there is "not enough storage space available".  On a system with 3GB of main memory and 258 GB free on the system disk partition, this looks suspicious if you ask me.  And yes, I ran the installation as administrator.

VB6 is quite a different animal to VBScript, the first is compiled whilst the second is an interpreted language. They just happen to share a similar name and some language semantics.

I suggest you download and install Windows Script 5.7. This should already be on Vista but somehow your installation appears corrupt.

I also installed Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6 (VB6SP6, which I had installed on the XP system).  This does not help neither.

I tried the Ramish trick but it did not help.  Same error on same line.

Init.htm line 183 is:

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Maybe due to a missing Script file? Genopro or Ron will be able to explain a bit more in detail.
If you're using the '\Customized English Narrative Report\*' skin, you should have init.htm in the Dir.
To do so, select the 'English Narrative Report {EN}' skin, click on 'New Skin...' and Genopro should create the Dir mentioned above, i.e. '\Customized ...

Update:

Go to this ad http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/67281-windows-vbscript-5-6-a.html and follow the Ramesh tip. The answer may be to register/re-register the VBScript.dll file! I'm no specialist but I don't think you'll harm your system anyway.
