VBScript Scripting Engine by ActiveXperts Software
[ SCRIPTING TOOLKIT - INSTALLATION ]
Q6000010 - When I run Setup, I get the following error message: "Error installing iKernel.exe (0xa00)". What's wrong?
A:
Most probably, you don't have administrative privileges on the machine where you install the product. You must have local administrator rights to install ActiveSocket on the computer.
Q6000012 - When trying to register your component (axscript.dll), REGSVR32 returns the following error: 0x80070005
A:
This is not a problem of the toolkit itself, but has something to do with security settings on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and higher.
Please try the following:
When starting the command prompt, start it from the start menu by locating the "Command Prompt" in the start menu, now right click on this item and select "Run as Administrator". When you try to register the component from the command prompt it should work okay.
You can also try to turn of UAC (User Account Control)
Q6000015 - Can ActiveXperts Scripting Toolkit be installed manually?
A:
Yes it can. To install the ActiveScripting COM component on another machine, simply copy the AxScript.dll (or AxScript64.dll) to another machine and issue the following command from the command prompt:
REGSVR32 <destination-path>\AxScript.dll.
Q6000016 - Can I use REGSVR32 to register your 64-bit component?
A:
Yes, you can use REGSVR32 to register the 64-bit component (AxScriptX64.dll), e.g.:
> REGSVR32 AxScriptX64.dll
You can also register the 32-bit component (AxScript.dll) on a 64-bit system in the same way, e.g.:
> REGSVR32 AxScript.dll
To make use of the 64-bit DLL, you should use a 64-bit application or 64-bit interpreter, e.g.:
> CSCRIPT.EXE RemoteCommand.vbs
To make use of the 32-bit DLL, you should use a 32-bit application or 32-bit interpreter, e.g.:
> C:\Windows\SysWow64\CSCRIPT.EXE RemoteCommand.vbs
NOTE: The module property tells you which component (32-bit or 64-bit) you are actually using.
The following VBScript program will tell you:
Set o = CreateObject( "ActiveXperts.RemoteCommand" )
WScript.Echo o.Module
Q6000017 - I want to re-install ActiveXperts Scripting Toolkit. I uninstalled first, but now the installation tells me that I cannot install it in the same destination directory as before. Am I doing something wrong?
A:
You are right: you cannot install the product in an existing directory.
Upon un-installation, the original directory (default: C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\Scripting Toolkit) is NOT deleted in case there are files created/modified after the previous installation. You must delete these files/directories manually.
Once the directory (C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\Scripting Toolkit) is deleted, you can re-install it in that directory.
In previous versions of the product, it was possible to install in an existing directory, but this often lead to interference with previous installations.
Q6000020 - How can I uninstall ActiveXperts Scripting Toolkit?
A:
If you used the regular ActiveSocket Setup program to install the software, you can simple uninstall the software by using the 'Add/Remove' applet in the control panel.
If you copied the AxScript.dll file manually to your system and registered manually, you should first de-register the component by running REGSVR32 -u AxScript.dll , and then delete the AxScript.dll file.
Q6000025 - I manually registered the ActiveSocket COM component on another machine, and now I want to unregister. How can I do this?
A:
Issue the following command from the command prompt:
REGSVR32 -u <path>\ASocket.dll.
Q6000030 - Does the ActiveSocket installation overwrite existing Operating System files?
A:
No, it only installs an ActiveX component that uses files of the Operating System.

Q6050005 - What .NET framework is required to run the .NET Scripting Toolkit sample projects?
A:
ActiveXperts Scripting Toolkit is compatible with .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.5. The .NET samples are created with Visual Studio 2005, and can be used with Visual Studio 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008.
Q6050010 - Why am I getting the following error message when compiling your Visual Basic .NET sample:
"Namespace or type 'AxScript' for the Imports 'AxScript' cannot be found."
A:
You haven't installed and registered the Scripting Toolkit ActiveX component. This component can be installed and registered automatically by running the Scripting Toolkit installation, or can be downloaded from our website and registered manually by running the command REGSVR32 AXSCRIPT.DLL
Q6050015 - Why am I getting the following error message when compiling the Visual C# .NET sample:
"The type or namespace name 'AxScript' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
A:
You haven't installed and registered the Scripting Toolkit ActiveX component. This component can be installed and registered automatically by running the Scripting Toolkit installation, or can be downloaded from our website and registered manually by running the command REGSVR32 TwitterTK.dll
[ SCRIPTING TOOLKIT - VISUAL BASIC 6.X AND VISUAL C++ 6.X ]
Q6100010 - When running the Visual Basic sample project, I get an error: "User-defined type not defined". What's wrong?
A:
The problem is, that you must refer to the object before you can declare and create it. Go to the 'Project' menu, choose 'References…' and put the checkbox near 'ActiveXperts Scripting Toolkit Type Library'.
Q6100100 - I'm using Windows 64bit and I'm getting the following error when using your VBScript sample:
"Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'ActiveXperts.Scripting'".
This applies to both CSCRIPT.EXE (command-line VBScript interpreter) and WSCRIPT.EXE (GUI VBScript interpreter)
A:
This is due to the fact that Windows uses the 64bit VBScript interpreter (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CSCRIPT.EXE or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WSCRIPT.EXE) by default. Since the ActiveXperts Scripting Toolkit control is a 32bit control, you should invoke the WOW64 subsystem. This means C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WOW64\CSCRIPT.EXE or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WOW64\WSCRIPT.EXE.
