Browse All TopicsI am experiencing a failure in a vbscript I've been working with (as executed from a DOS window in Vista 64, using cscript or wscript). The problem is that it fails on the first line with an unhandled exception.
The first line is "Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002".
...and that pretty much ends any chance of the rest of the program from working.
Can anyone explain why I am seeing a 'unhandled exception' on this line?

what happens if you put
dim i
i=1
MsgBox "3rd line"
... and rest of your code
and run it, will you still get error on the first line? or it will give error on 4th line?
