how to run VBScript under Windows 64 bits

Hi Friends,
When a try run a DLL using VBScript with Windows 64 bits a receive error message below, the some DLL called using other 32 bits program like Visual Fox Pro the DLL works fine.

The registry was made using regsvr32 under SysWOW64 folder.

Error:      ActiveX component can't create object: 'Mydll_Fox_SAP.SAP_Utilits'
Code:      800A01AD
Source:       Microsoft VBScript runtime error

Any idea about this situation?

Tnahks in advance!

By default, you are trying to run your VBS file using the 64-bit CScript.exe, located at C:\Windows\Sytem32. It sounds like you're pointing to a 32-bit DLL file, so you need to go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe instead. (Yes, the numbers are counter-intuitive.)

So, to run it from the command prompt, it would be

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe C:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop\Test.vbs

Mavalpha,

But if I run the VBScript from Sqlserver 2005 DTS (SISS) it will work? Can I setup IT into Sqlserver?

I believe DTS would let you run an application with parameters (which is what calling cscript.exe as I described above does).
