Subject: Re: [PATCH] Scripts, generating solution and
projects for MSVC/ICC
I am experiencing some strange behavior when attempting to
run the generate.bat script on 64 bit windows XP after
applying this patch. The behavior observed is as follows:
D:\ablack\stdcxx>generate.bat /CONFIG:msvc-8.0
/BUILDDIR:D:\ablack\stdcxx-build Solution generation script
Checking arguments...
Building directory tree created
Checking consistence...
Unable to create VCProjectEngine object: Could not create
object named "VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.8.0".
The place of fail:
try
{
VCProjectEngine =
WScript.CreateObject("VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine." + VERSION);
}
catch (e)
{
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine("Unable to create VCProjectEngine
object: " + e.message);
WScript.Quit(3);
}
Unfortunately, I don't have 64-bit Platform for testing the scripts.
Check, please, the presence of the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.8.0 key in the registry.
If the MSVC8.0 is installed this key should be present.
Farid.
Greetings Farid.
Looking at the registry for the machine indicates that the key in
question is present. A thought I had was that it could be an issue with
trying to call a 64 bit library from a 32 bit version of cscript, or
vice versa, but altering the path in an attempt to use what I believe to
be the 64 bit version of cscript didn't solve anything.
I'm poking around MSDN trying to find any clues to a possible cause, but
I don't seem to be having much luck.
