Wscript.CreateO bject error on ASP page

The statement in an asp page:

dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateO bject("WScript. Shell")

now gives this error:
VB err= 424,Object required

If I use setobjShell=Ser ver.CreateObjec t("WScript.Shel l"), I get the error
VB err= 5,Invalid procedure call or argument
I believe it stopped working in July 2004 after a security update. I have
re-registered the appropriate dlls and ocxs.

Does anyone have an idea? I am trying to use this object so that I can
execute a batch file that was created earlier in the program.

Thanks

Forget the WSCript.CreateO bject code. That's not for ASP. For your other
code where you have Server.CreateOb ject, can you copy and paste the code
from the exact file giving you the problem and post it here?

Yes, the code is:
dim objShell
Set objShell = server.CreateOb ject("WScript.S hell")

and I get the error 5,Invalid procedure call or argument.

Thanks!

Well, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Perhaps some antivirus
software is blocking the creation of this object? If you put this in a .vbs
file:

dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("W Script.Shell")

and run it while logged onto the machine with administrative rights, what
happens?

well, error=0.
Do you think it is a permissions problem somewhere?

I think that it ~could~ be a permissions problem, although IUSR_ should be
permitted to create a WScript.Shell object in a default setup. Has anyone
made any dcomcnfg changes lately or anything?

Hello-
Well, thanks for the ideas, but nothing has worked. Access to this web site
is not through IUSR_, because I also access a soucesafe database on our
network and the share is only available to network users. When I log in as
me (an administrator), I can access the VSS, but the wscript does not work.
Running the script manually works, however. Is there another way I can
execute a batch file from within this web site?

Hello, I am running Tomcat 4.x and have tried to set global error handling using the following kind of entries in the web.xml file. But there is no redirection and I always end up with the tomcat generated error page in the browser. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? <error-page>

I thought this is more of an IE issue but i've had no joy on that group perhaps somebody here will have a clue. If i click a link to a web page embedded in Excel (97 OR 2000) i get the standard error page displayed by IE (you know, the 'cannot find server or dns error' page). Turning off 'show friendly http error messages' alleviates this. (Unfortunately this is the Windows default setting!) Whats going on?!?!

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
