I''m trying to schduling vbscript in 'Task scheduler' but it is not work.

I've check schedules in EG and it is fine.

 

I also follow 'Chris Hemedinger': ( Using SAS Enterprise Guide to run programs in batch - The SAS Dummy).
But the result of using   “c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe” or “c:\windows\sysWOW64\wscript.exe” is not work.

Would you mind to guide me how to make vbscript run on 'Task scheduler'?

Hi,

 

 

First thing I would do, is to check whether you can find/run c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe or c:\windows\sysWOW64\wscript.exe.

 

If you cannot:

 

- contact your systems admin or technical support, since maybe you don't have enough permissions or all the components you need.

- You can feed them with: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/248121 , but probably they will know.

Hi Juans

Yes, i can find/run c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe or c:\windows\sysWOW64\wscript.exe.

Any other ideas?

Then, thext step, try to manually schedule the VBscript in the Windows Task Scheduler:

 

- Create the task, give it a name, select that will run with your username (or any that will have enough authorizations), and select to run with administrative priviledges (if possible and applicable).

- Then, create the Action, selecting c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe as your program to be executed, and under double quotes: 

"c:\projects\AutomationNewProgram.vbs"

And create your trigger (that can be none, so you can trigger to Run now.

 

Then try to run the program, and give a look into the results or the history.

Hi Juan

Still not working .

I do more as below

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm /codebase "c:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1\sasegscripting.dll"

 

Sample output:

 

Microsoft .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility version 4.0.30319.18408
for Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0.30319.18408

Up to here can't invoke scheduler to run
