Compiled Script causes Windows to Freeze up

[gkalus]

I got the script below running but when it is compiled and I run it from the USB or locally, it freezes windows up.

I need to run this script from a USB drive and have written it on the USB. It does three things.

Creates a printer port

Loads the print drivers

Adds the printer

The script pulls all the drivers from the USB drive.

The beginning of the script is for formatting the IP address and adding the correct number of digits in the last two octets of the IP address to get the proper naming of the printer.

; Message after printer has been added
MsgBox(4096, "New Printer", "Printer: " &$PrinterName& " has been added.")

Thanks for the help,

Does it happen if you disable firewall/antivirus?
