Windows 10: VBS Script crashing in Windows 10: More RAM?

Hi there,

I have a VBS script that I've used for years that is suddenly crashing. I get this in the event log under "application error" and no other pop-ups or messages:


Faulting application name: DllHost.exe, version: 10.0.17134.1, time stamp: 0x5cfd3427
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.17134.112, time stamp: 0xcfe5bd82

Fault offset: 0x000d8879
Faulting process id: 0x1e24
Faulting application start time: 0x01d527790818d253
Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\DllHost.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: b9a76c65-6ace-495e-a9fb-ede6516142b5
Faulting package full name:

Any ideas what this means?

Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

You can invoke VB scripts through the Task Scheduler, same as batch files or .exe files. What problem do you actually have? What is the script you run? Is it supposed to be interactive?

There is little difference between cscript.exe and wscript.exe. When you run cscript.exe you will open a black Command Processor window (cmd.exe). With wscript.exe you won't. Furthermore, the instruction wscript.echo will do different things:

• Under cscript.exe: Write a line of text in the Command Processor window.
• Under wscript.exe: Generate message box.

This difference is important for scripts being invoked by the Task Scheduler.

 

Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

Community Members,

Using VB Script which I started learning, I wrote a simple vbs file. I want Windows 10 Task Scheduler to run the VB Script file.

First, the VB Script program works manually. It runs perfectly and does what the program says.

I have tried on several occasions to have Window 10 Task Scheduler to fire off the program on a given date and time. I have surfed the web and read numerous questions about people who have had the same problem. All the settings that need to be set, highest
priority, run when computer is on or off,

the user and etc. I do not understand if I am the single user of the computer, in essence the admin, then why would this be an issue.

I have read about using a batch file, tried that and failed. There was some advice about using "wscript or cscript" which I do not understand why.

I am looking for some help to get my vbs file to run on a scheduled date and time. After reading all about the problem on the web, I am really confused.

I am look for a simple solution. It cannot be that hard to make a vbs file run on a given date and time.

Any help to a confused programmer would be greatly appreciated.
