GW Micro simply links in to the existing core Windows Scripting Host and does not replace it. It simply hosts the existing scripting engine embeded in Windows inside of its core. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam bushman To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2008 3:23 PM Subject: the we com automation server
Hi all, I am trying to learn about the we com automation server. I understand that it's built in to we 7.0. I understand that it's either on / off or set to manual. I understand that it can run vb script and jscript. I understand that .vbs is the extention given to a text file that is the source for the scripts. I understand that some scripts depend on other scripts to be running to enable them to use functions / objects that are already defined and available. The we scripting engine is a com automation server that can run these scdripts. It can start / stop them and expose the we API if you will to the programmer. Cool, got that! Here is what I don't understand. If I run a script ... I can use the we engine or I can use the engine that already comes with all of the latest versions of windows. Since we now has a scripting engine how do I know that it will not conflict with the windows engine. GW Micro did not replace the windows scripting engine with the we com automation server / scripting engine did they? So could I use the windows engine / scripting host server to run a script and see the WE API? What is the advantage to using the we scripting engine and not the windows scripting host? I am just trying to understand how the we automation server running effects the main windows scripting host engine. Thanks so much.
