How are Libraries (shdocvw.dll) added to a vbscript for WSH

[Alan Burch]

I need to be able to use the shodocvw.dll which has a shell folder object
I'd like to use. I want to be able to copy all contents of a folder.

What steps do I need to do to add this to WSH so it's exposed?

The code I want to try for now is something like the following....

Dim shell, folder

Set shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set folder = shell.NameSpace(foldername)
MsgBox folder.Title

Thanks....

To use the Shell.Application object you need Active Desktop.  That's standard for Win98 and Win2000.  For Win95 and NT4 you only get Active Desktop with an IE4 install with the Desktop Update option.

 

I think what you really want is to use the Scripting.FileSystemObject in the Scripting Runtime Library that comes with WSH.
