Cannot create FileSystemObject ?

[rseidl]

Hi guys -
although I also am an enthusiastic user of Homeseer this particular problem is not popping up in a homeseer script but a Visual Studio 6 Visual basic Macro. But I am hoping to VB gurus here might be able to help me anyway:

I have a line of code that says:
Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

And when executed, Visual Studio tells me:
ActiveX component cannot create object 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'

I have tried what has been suggested in the past like
- install Windows Script Debugger - succeeded
- install Windows Script 5.5 succeeded (v5.6 doesn't install on XP)
- Start>Run>regsvr32 scrrun.dll succeeded
- Start>Run>regsvr32 \windows\system32\msscript.ocx succeeded

Am I overlooking something ?
I should mention this is on a Win XP Home Edition, fairly new box (and hence unmolested registry etc.)

Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance !

In your VB project choose the path Project > References. This brings up the references dialog. Scroll down and check "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" This should fix you up.

mmhh. I don't run this from VB but from Visual C++ IDE - and I cant find a place in the menus or options dialogs that lets me set anything like that up for my VB scripts.

Is there something I can put into the VB script itself to kick it into referencing the right thing ?

Thanks

Just figured out what the problem was - just in case anybody else has it:

I needed to install Service Pack 5 for Visual Studio 6

Everything works fine now.
