Try:- Dim objShell Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( “WScript.Shell” ) objShell.Run(“””c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”””) Set objShell = Nothing Note the extra “”s in the string. Since the path to the exe contains spaces it needs to be contained with in quotes. (In this case simply using “firefox.exe” would work). Also bear in mind that many programs exist … Read more
From your code, it looks like provider is a variant or some other variable, and not an object. Is Nothing is for objects only, yet later you say it’s a value that should either be NULL or NOT NULL, which would be handled by IsNull. Try using: If Not IsNull(provider) Then url = url & … Read more
The latter (<>), because the meaning of the former isn’t clear unless you have a perfect understanding of the order of operations as it applies to the Not and = operators: a subtlety which is easy to miss.
You can use %~dp0 to get the path of the currently running batch file.

Function CreateGUID Dim TypeLib Set TypeLib = CreateObject(“Scriptlet.TypeLib”) CreateGUID = Mid(TypeLib.Guid, 2, 36) End Function This function will return a plain GUID, e.g., 47BC69BD-06A5-4617-B730-B644DBCD40A9. If you want a GUID in a registry format, e.g., {47BC69BD-06A5-4617-B730-B644DBCD40A9}, change the function’s last line to CreateGUID = Left(TypeLib.Guid, 38)
The function you need is CInt. ie CInt(PrinterLabel) See Type Conversion Functions (Visual Basic) on MSDN Edit: Be aware that CInt and its relatives behave differently in VB.net and VBScript. For example, in VB.net, CInt casts to a 32-bit integer, but in VBScript, CInt casts to a 16-bit integer. Be on the lookout for potential … Read more
Eric Lippert has a great article on using parentheses in VBScript: What do you mean “cannot use parentheses?” Your example illustrates one of the points he mentions, namely: enclosing a ByRef argument in parentheses passes it as ByVal. In short, parentheses in VBScript subroutine calls can be put not only around the argument list, but … Read more
While @helen’s answer is correct it is a bit sparse. It details the Err.Raise() method but misses out some key points. From the original question However, is there some way I can generate my own errors? For example if one of my functions is passed the wrong type of parameter I’d rather my script just … Read more
From microsoft Sorting arrays in VBScript has never been easy; that’s because VBScript doesn’t have a sort command of any kind. In turn, that always meant that VBScript scripters were forced to write their own sort routines, be that a bubble sort routine, a heap sort, a quicksort, or some other type of sorting algorithm. … Read more
No. Unfortunately, you have to do: value = value + 1
