shouldn't this create a physical typelibrary file automatically ?

Hi
You can compare it to the one I use, this one does generate a type library file
automatically:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<component>
<registration progid="BWshLib.WSC"
classid="{c8e9c3f5-043b-4aa3-97b9-781681910643}"
description="BWshLib"
version="1.14">
<script language="VBScript">
<![CDATA[
Function Register()
set oTL = CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
oTL.AddURL "BWSHLIB.WSC"
oTL.Path = "BWSHLIB.tlb"
oTL.Doc = "Brix WSH component"
oTL.GUID = "{63284c00-7a94-4336-9e07-3923e4470980}"
oTL.Name = "BWSHLIB_tbl"
oTL.MajorVersion = 1
oTL.MinorVersion = 1
oTL.Write
oTL.Reset
End Function
Function UnRegister()
End Function
]]>
</script>
</registration>
<public>
(snip method definitions and code)
Some additional comments:
Be sure that you don't have the line
implements id="Behavior" type="Behavior"
in you WSC, or else the oTL.Write will err.
It shouldn't be necessary to hard code the path in oTL.AddURL and oTL.Path
(c:\wsc\components\).
I register it with this script line from a script:
sRetVal = oShell.Run("regsvr32 /s " & "/i:" & """" & sB_ComPath & "\BWSHLIB.WSC"
& """" & " " & sWinSysDir & "\scrobj.dll", 1, True)
that transfers to something like this on the command line:
regsvr32 /s /i:"some path\BWSHLIB.WSC" C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\scrobj.dll
(you can of course also right click on the WSC file and select "Register", and
it will also generate a type library file automatically)

I pasted it into my test wsc file and it still runs, but doesn't generate a
typelibrary file.
also did not register itself
Any help ?

You still have a syntax error in the registration element. The remote=true
is not valid where it is located in the source and the format is invalid
(should be remotable="true").
Other than that I can't see anything else wrong. Since you aren't posting a
complete WSC, there could be problems elsewhere.
I suggest that you initially always include:
<?component error="true" debug="true"?>
to aid in debugging and error reporting when problems occur within the WSC
itself, even when registering.

Hi
Your WSC file register nicely on my computer, and produces a type library file.
How do you register the WSC file?
If you right-click on it and select "Register", what is the default value under
this registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scriptletfile\Shell\Register\command
What is the version number on scrobj.dll in your Windows system folder?
As a side note, you should add this one to be able to unregister as well:
Function UnRegister()
End Function

Same here - registers as expected with a typlib created...

Hi
If you can't get it to register, here are some question that may help us help
you:
1)
How do you register the WSC file?
2)
If you right-click on it and select "Register", what is the default value under
this registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scriptletfile\Shell\Register\command
3)
What is the version number on the following files in your Windows system
(System32 on NT4/Win2k/WinXP) folder?
scrobj.dll
wshocm.ocx
