From: Saran on 19 Nov 2005 12:31 Hello. I'm trying to use sockets in vbscript, but I get the feeling I need to install something. test.vbs ---------- SET Test = CreateObject("MSWinsock.Winsock", "TEST_") SUB Test_Connect() msgBox "Test::Connected" END SUB ---------- Gives: ---------- C:\test>cscript test.vbs Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved. C:\test\test.vbs(1, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable: 'CreateObject' ---------- If I use WScript.CreateObject instead of just CreateObject by itself, I get this error instead: ---------- C:\test\test.vbs(1, 1) WScript.CreateObject: Could not create object named "MSWinsock.Winsock". ---------- Though things like SET MyHashTable1 = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") SET MyHashTable2 = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") work just fine. (BTW is there a difference between using WScript and leaving it off?) I'm running Win XP SP2, WSH 5.6, Visual Studio (.Net Pro 2003 and 6.0 Ent.) Is there something I need to download/install ? Thanks for any help.
From: mr_unreliable on 19 Nov 2005 13:58 hi Saran, I don't have msWinsock either. I am guessing that it's one of those controls distributed with the professional version of visual basic, rather than with the win system. However, all is not lost. You can find it on the web, as part of the distribution of any vb app the needs it to run. In addition, there are some sites that specialize in offering downloads of "missing" dll's, ocx's, etc. One such site, which apparently has msWinsock.ocx is: http://www.vbcodesource.com/control.html cheers, jw ____________________________________________________________ You got questions?

From: Saran on 19 Nov 2005 14:57 Thank you. I already have a mswinsck.ocx in my windows\system32 folder. Do I have to call it another way or am I still missing something? As for "professional version of visual basic", I have both VB 6 (VS6 Ent) and VB.Net 2003 (VS 2003 Pro) installed. mr_unreliable wrote: > hi Saran, > > I don't have msWinsock either.

Every example I found uses the 2nd param for defining the event handler prefix, so now I'm confused. >> If I use WScript.CreateObject instead of just CreateObject by >> itself, I >> get this error instead: >> ---------- >> C:\test\test.vbs(1, 1) WScript.CreateObject: Could not create object >> named "MSWinsock.Winsock". >> ---------- > > This should work on a developing machine with VS-6 installed. > Check if the ocx is present and try to re-register the component: > > regsvr32 %WINDIR%\System32\MSWINSCK.OCX Ran that, it still gives me the error. Heres one of the exmaples I came across: '----------- example.vbs ----------- Dim Raw set Raw = WScript.CreateObject("MSWinsock.Winsock", "WSEvent_") Raw.Connect "10.25.1.157" , 9100 msgbox "Running - close to continue" Raw.Close Sub WSEvent_Connect() msgbox "Connected!" end sub Sub WSEvent_DataArrival(bytes) MyString="blank" Raw.GetData MyString msgbox "data: "+CStr(bytes)+chr(13)+MyString end sub '-------------- End of Code --------------------------------------- |
