The script correctly executes when I run it within Windows on its own, however, when I run it from the installer I get the following error as shown in the log file: Microsoft VBScript runtime error: object required: 'WScript', Line 3, Column 2 The script is below: sub shell(cmd) Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run("""" microsoft vbscript runtime error object required 'wscript' & cmd & """") Set objShell = Nothing end sub set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strcmd32 = "C:\Path\PathToExecutable.exe" strcmd64 = "C:\Path\PathToExecutable64.exe" if (objFSO.FileExists(strcmd32)) then shell(strcmd32) else shell(strcmd64) end if set objFSO = Nothing As stated before, this script runs fine if I run it outside the context of the installer. The setup project type is VS2010 Setup and Deployment Package (this is what the client wishes to use and I cannot use anything else).

Remark: The question object required is posted other forums, other guys tell me the wscript.exe may be not installed on my system at C:\WINDOWS\system32, but I checked the directory, I found the wscript.exe file, so I don't know why the error appear when run the codes. the error also appear on other computers.

If that's it, the problem is probably that it is trying to run your script under IE, rather than the Wscript Host. That is, the WScript object is only instantiated by Wscript.exe or cscript.exe (the two WHS host programs). VBS in IE or as an HTA does not support that object. Your script must be executed as a standalone .VBS or .WSH file to use the Sleep function (and ECHO). At least, that's my best guess at what the problem could be.Tom Lavedas Marked as answer by Richard MuellerMVP, Moderator Friday, September 02, 2011 1:29 AM Tuesday, August 16, 2011 3:21 PM Reply | Quote Moderator All replies 0 Sign in to vote I'm sorry, but I don't know what QTP is.
