Script error

danhackley · Post by **danhackley** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 12:54 pm

When I try and run any script in Mediamonkey 3, I get the error:
"Error happened during script initialisation: A script engine for the specified language can not be created"

Any ideas ?

A) The database structure has changed from MM 2.x to 3.x. Many scripts will need to be updated.

^^in the MM3 FAQ^^

Make sure that all scripts you want to install are really made for MM3 (most of them are NOT!)

And remember that all questions about MM3 should be in the Beta section.

If nothing helps, then try re-installing the scripting engine, as it might have gotten damaged: http://www.macropool.com/en/download/scripting.html

Good illegal link

Some Scripting hosts are under genuine:

Windows Script 5.7 WinXP
Windows Script 5.7 Win2003
Windows Script 5.7 Win2000

VBScript Quick Reference
VBScript 5.6 Documentation

Steegy, do you think that this Should also be included in new topic for reference to other scripters?

Illegal

Not in Belgium

Links to the scripting runtimes (version 5.6) and the above link can already be found here in the wiki (and in the older forum post here). Of course when the wiki's organization gets better, this probably should get moved to some better place too.

Hmmm windows script 5.7.... that is new... wonder if it will be good or bad to upgrade (knowing microsoft and vista, its hard to guess how they f&%'d up WSH)...

Until I see full documentation I'll rather stick to 5.6, I have bought few good eBooks about Advanced Scripting WSH but they handle 5.6 and I really do not see points to go on 5.7 most changes are probably regarding .net, VB and User polices and limited accounts managements regarding vista.

@Steegy
Your links points to Macropool Download links not directly to M$ like in Wiki and Forum you noticed

Interesting thoughts guys, thanks. I'll check the MM3-specific scripts.

Got Magicnodes working thanks, needs the dll registered in the registry (or something), which Vista didnt seem to do automatically.
