wscript.echo not popping up 2

[RITec]

Hi Everyone,

Hoping this is something simple
This started about a week ago.

I have scripts that I run, but for some reason when I run scripts on my machine they only run in command window and do not popup.

example:

wscript.echo "Hello"

will bring up the command window run say hello then close. no popup saying "Hello"

Works on all other machines just not mine.

any Idea what is going on?

Thank you
RITec

Seems that the default program for VBS file is cscript.exe and you want wscript.exe.
In a console windows, execute this:
wscript //h:wscript

Hope This Help, PH.

Hello RITec,

If you want the "popup window" jump out regardless of cscript or wscript, you can always script it with msgbox.
msgbox "Hello",,"Windows Script Host"
