Error:: Activex componet can not create object:"WScript .Shell"

Mike John

I am trying to use the shell object to send keys to the
explorer browser to run the send page funcion.

I am receiving the above error only when I put my html
file in the web server folder.However if I am runing the
file local it will work
Any reason, why when the file is in the web server folder
the create object failed to created the shell object.

Systax:
<html>
<head>
<body>
<Form name = myform>
<input type = button onclick = "Sendmy()" value
= "Axiolog Email">
</form>
</body>
</head>
<script langauage = "Javascript ">
function Sendmxy()
{
alert("ASDFSA")
var wshell = WScript.CreateO bject("WScript. Shell")
}

</script>
<SCRIPT Language=VBScri pt>

Sub Sendmy()

Dim WshShell
dim intloop
dim intCount
dim intc
Set WshShell = CreateObject("W Script.Shell")
alert("Yes")

WshShell.SendKe ys("%(T)")

WshShell.SendKe ys("+(M)")

WshShell.SendKe ys("+(M)")
WshShell.SendKe ys("+(P)")

End Sub

</SCRIPT>

Browser security settings may be hampering your attempts. To get it to
work, the setting you'll most likely need to adjust can be found on the
Internet Options dialog under the Tools dropdown menu in Internet Explorer.
Go to the security tab. With local Intranet selected (assuming this is an
intranet app), click the "Customize Level." button. Find the setting titled
"Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" and change the
selection to either "enable" or "prompt."

I would assume that your problem has to do with permissions on the server.

server.createObject("wscript.shell") ... wShell.run ... stopped working...

by: Bill | last post by:

I used to be able to run the following ASP code on our corp machine (W2K Server Edition and IIS-5) and successfully send a net-msg to anyone on our intranet. Last week it stopped working... and I'm not sure what changed. (I had applied ALL the W2K update patches... but... I'm not sure if the problem started before or after that.) Did any recent W2K patches change the way createObject, wScript.shell, or "NET SEND" works?

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,...
