Data Base Export Script Problems

[jdcrooner]

I don't know how to alter the Export.VBS script included with MediaMonkey or how to edit it as is recommended in the "Notes" file.

"Scripts are defined in the "\Scripts\Scripts.ini" file as a reference to a corresponding function in a .vbs (VBScript) file. To add a script, simply edit this file and restart MediaMonkey."
My OS is Windows 98 and I have Office 2000 installed with all the latest drivers.

When trying to export without any editing I recieve the following 2 error messages:

Error #429 Microsoft VB Script Runtime error. ActiveX component can't create object: Scripting.File System Object.
File: "C:\PROGRAM FILES MEDIAMONKEY \Script\Export.VBS, Line 59, Column 2.

Then another message:

Error happened during script execution.
ActiveX can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'

Please, Please help.
I love this program otherwise, but I really do need the export files function.
Thanks in advance.

I can think of two possible reasons:
- You have a firewall/antivirus software installed that prevents creation of 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', because it's often used by e-mail viruses. Check configuration of such application, it should be possible to somehow let the object create.
- This one is less likely: You don't have scrrun.dll in windows system folder or it isn't properly registered (e.g. usding regsvr32). This shouldn't happen unless your system has been somehow damaged.

I have checked and the scrrun.dll file is in the Windows\System folder and is version 5.6.0.6626, Thursday, August 23, 2001. So that eliminates that one.
I don't have firewall or anti-virus program running but will check the registry to find out if previously installed programs have altered it.
What about editing the script which I don't know how to do? Could this still be the problem as the error messages indicate that there seems to be something wrong on line 59, column 2. What is that all about?
Thanks for you patience.

You can try to register the file (using command line: 'regsvr32 scrrun.dll') just in case it has been unregisterd somehow.

As for the error on line 59 - that's why I know the problem is with Scripting object, it's created on this line. This piece of code should generally run on any machine, it's part of the scripting engine which is installed together with IE installation.

Thank you! Thank you!
That was the problem. All I did was open Start, Run and enter regsvr32 scrrun.dll, then click run. When I opended MM it exported in all formats without any error or problems.
How this became disassociated, I have no idea, but who cares...it works!!!
Now I am enjoying all the fabulous features that MM offers.
Thanks again.
