MoveFileEx call from a Script?

[John Boenzi]

Is it possible to use the Win32 API MoveFileEx function in a VB script? And
if so what is the syntax?

I'd like to have an in-use file moved on reboot:
MoveFileEx(szSrcFile, szDstFile, MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);

Thanks for your help.

You cannot make Win32 API calls directly from VBScript. Period.

You can, however, wrap those API calls in a C++ or VB COM object
and then call that COM object from script.

There is an ActiveX control in the WSH Bazaar that provides
similar things. I used VB 5 CCE to create that ActiveX control.
Direct API calls are not possible in WSH, and also the DynaWrap
DLL mentioned sometimes is difficult to handle. Have a look in the
WSH Bazaar, there is also a sample demonstrating how to
create an ActiveX control using VB 5 CCE.
