XP Script NG on Vista (Vista)

Topic

New Reply

Under Windows XP I invoked Cscript.exe passing it the script shown below to deactivate Outlook.
Dim oAppOL
set oAppOL = GetObject(, “Outlook.Application”)
oAppOL.Quit
set oAppOL = Nothing

It worked fine. Doing the same thing under Vista produces the following error: “Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can’t create object: ‘GetObject'”. I don’t know the script language; I copied it from a magazine. Can anyone tell me how to correct whatever is wrong?

You can’t use GetObject function; use CreateObject instead.
Change the second line in your script like this:

set oAppOL = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”)
