Recommended Posts

$VBS = ObjCreate("ScriptControl")
$VBS.language = "VBScript"
Global Const $Nothing = $VBS.eval("Nothing")
$VBS = $Nothing

Can someone say me what i'm doing wrong here?

ERROR:

JohnOne,

No errors.

[edit:]

To prove that i'm not lying, this is what I found on the web about it:

I imagine it's going to have something to do with windows.

You should be checking for object too.

$VBS = ObjCreate("ScriptControl")
If Not IsObj($VBS) Then
    Exit MsgBox(0,'Error', 'Cannot create object' & @CRLF & 'Error: ' & @error)
EndIf

$VBS.language = "VBScript"
Global Const $Nothing = $VBS.eval("Nothing")
$VBS = $Nothing

JohnOne,

now it works, so it's a 64bit problem then  :ermm:

thanks for the help JohnOne  ^_^

[EDIT:]

put this on top in the au3 script and you don't have to compile it every time:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

Just an FYI, I'm getting the same error message on my computer, Win 7 x64.

EDIT: Just saw the other posts, it worked for me when I ran it as x86.

It's an initialism which stands for "For Your Information".

I said I initially saw the same error message as you did, the first line.

Then I edited it to say that running it in x86 mode allowed it to run without an error, the second line.
