MS Dictionary Object

[KaFu]

Hiho Forum,

does anyone know, if the Dictionary Object is available on any OS from XP on upwards? I've tested on XP Professional and Win7 Ultimate, but how about Win7 Home etc.?

Couldn't find any infos about that on MSDN and want to know if it's safe to use.

$oDict = ObjCreate('Scripting.Dictionary')
If Not IsObj($oDict) Then
    MsgBox(16 + 262144, "Error!", "Creating Scripting.Dictionary object failed.")
    Exit
EndIf

Considering it's a scripting object it sounds safe to assume it exists.

Thanks for your assessment .

It seems like its located in the scrrun.dll and this comes by default with XP / IE 5.0 +.

Yeah I'd say that's a good indicator of "safe".

Didn't bring up an error on Windows 2000 plain install, so it looks like its been standard for a while.
