Simple script with error 800A01AD

[kaul1jos]

I'm running a simple vbscript on WinXP SP2:

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
.......


On the 3rd line an error occurred
Script: c:\temp\read.vbs
Line: 3
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript Runtimeerror


Many examples on the internet use "WScript.StdOut" in there script. What's going wrong.


Please help!!!

The StdIn, StdOut, and StdErr streams can be accessed while using CScript.exe only. Attempting to access these streams while using WScript.exe produces an error.

Hope This Helps, PH.

When I use cscript i got the following error:

c:\temp\read.vbs(3, 1) Runtimeerror Microsoft VBScript: ActiveX-component can't create object

Same problem...

Seems like a permission and/or security problem.
Have you administrative privileges when you run this script ?

Hello kaul1jos,

With start | run, enter the command:
[tt]wscript -regserver[/tt]
see if it corrects the problem.

kaul1jos,

Try config the firewall,
[tt]
set service type = REMOTEADMIN mode = ENABLE scope = SUBNET profile = DOMAIN
[/tt]
