Say, dada.vbs calls mama.vbs and I am running dada.vbs in a command window using cscript. Problem is that echo messages of the mama.vbs is not appearing, but dada.vbs displays its echo messages.

I need both to display in the same cmd window. How can I achieve this ?

Thanks in advance,

Arun

Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKLM\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and add a string value. Give it any name you like and paste your subst command for its value. Now your drive letter will be recreated each time Windows starts.

Bonus tip: If you only want the drive letter available to a single user, look under the HKCU hive instead!

It worked for me on Windows Vista.
I was trying to install postgresql and after looking with google for weeks, finally I found your page. No way to resolve in microsoft forums.

I think I finally figured out why it wasn’t working, well actually I haven’t figured out why it’s not working but I figured out how to make it work and that’s all that matters.

Follow the instructions above, open Outlook, open a new e-mail, address it to yourself, set the date in th future, send the e-mail. Do not look in or open up your outbox to see if the e-mail is there. It sounds wierd I know but if I look in my outbox at the e-mail, it closes with prompting. If I dont look in my outbox for the e-mail, just look to see that the outbox has a (1) next to it and you will be fine.

I can’t explain it but it works.

Trying to adapter this for telnet:// URLs also. Have tried creating a copy of the SSH script above and altering it for Telnet only but can’t seem to get it to work;

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am trying to open a mapped script on windows 7 but i am not able to , which i was able to open in xp… Is there anything i need to change in the script to make it work for Win 7

That could be a good option. I’m curious whether that will pause script execution or only delay the connection thread. Have you tried it to see if it actually works?

Is this not better?

Use an existing SQL ADO connection that may be in your script and offload the pause to MSDE/SQL

con.execute “WAITFOR DELAY ‘00:00:02′”

Zero impact on the CPU as it sleeps the thread properly.

Cheers,

Re option two, I beg to differ with you, I know your comments are well intentioned but “…simply press the Alt + Print Screen hotkey combination to capture a shot of the active window to the clipboard. Now enter mspaint in the Run… dialog box to open MS Paint and press Ctrl + V to paste the contents from the clipboard. Save the image as a .jpg and you’re all set…” does NOT qualify as simple in my view. It’s not good enough in 2012 that we are still forced to go to such arcane steps to achieve such a simple outcome.

Microsoft should get off their asses and make the first method of copying dialogue error messages consistent across the board.
