The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Return to calling VBS from HTA

Asked by Netman66 in VB Script, VB Controls, VB Objects

Tags: vbscript,hta, IE

Well....it looks like it's my turn to ask a question - WooHoo! :o)

I am developing a method for our imaging that PXE boots to WinPE, launches a VBScript to run wpeinit, map a drive and call up an HTA where you can select an image to apply to the workstation.  All this works fine, the HTA runs, my choices are captured via radio buttons and checkboxes and Ghost32 is run with the proper commandline switches.  

The issue I'm having is when the Ghost client finishes, it closes then the HTA closes - which *should* return control to the originating VBScript to execute the next line in the script.  However....the calling script throws an error:

Start.vbs (37, 1) (null): The operation was canceled by the user.

Now, I've started the HTA using several methods - objShell.Run "x:\windows\system32\mshta.exe s:\scripts\menu.hta",3,True - seems at least wait for something to happen with the HTA (either a Self.Close, Window.Close or killing the mshta process) before continuing, but the error above happens no matter what method I use to exit the HTA.

I have other things in the calling script that execute, wait and then continue after completion just fine.  It's only this return from the HTA that has greatly reduced the existence of hair on my head.

Is there any method at all I can leverage short of including the VBScript I need to launch after the HTA closes within the HTA itself?  I don't like that last idea given how I have to maintain things.

Code gurus, I'm all ears ('cause I have no more hair)!! LOL.
