Error when starting EG scheduled project from vbs script

gspila — Mon, 13 May 2019 14:25:13 GMT

I use Enterprise Guide 7.1 desktop, not server, and I have a few scheduled project which I run from windows task scheduler for almost two years.
Ten days ago they suddenly stop working, I uncommented the MsgBox strmsg line in the vbs, and it return the pop up attached.

Does the project work when run interactively?

This error might indicate a problem with the project file or a missing file.

Thanks for the reply, if I open and run the project there'no problem at all, only when I try to execute it in batch mode.
The same problem appear with other projects, not just one.

Is SAS Enterprise Guide a 32-bit version or 64-bit version?

If 32-bit, be sure you are kicking off the script with the 32-bit version of cscript (or wscript):

c:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe c:\projects\AutomationNewProgram.vbs

If 64-bit, use:

c:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe c:\projects\AutomationNewProgram.vbs

(I know those folder names seem backwards...but they aren't.)

It's 64 bit version, when I run it from command prompt with the 64 bit cscript I get the same error I already posted.

I also tried with the 32 bit version just to be sure, and I get another error

Error #80131534
In Function app.Open
and something like LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods has generated an exception

Okay, this sounds like it might be a bug -- I suggest tracking with SAS Technical Support. Make sure you're up-to-date on all EG hotfixes as well.
