Mach3 under Vista / Re: 32-bit vs. 64-bit VBScript support

Thank you -- that will at least help me investigate further.

Mach3 under Vista / 32-bit vs. 64-bit VBScript support
« on: January 15, 2013, 11:12:04 PM »
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

I have a .m1s script that uses a 32-bit .ocx to perform serial communications. I have an issue where I get an ActiveX error now that I've upgraded to 64-bit.

Based on the link at bottom, I think Mach is using Windows\system32\wscript.exe (or cscript.exe) to execute macros, but in 64-bit Windows, system32 holds only the 64-bit script interpreters, which can't use existing 32-bit .ocx or .dll libraries. In other words, my existing scripts might actually work if Mach called the 32-bit script interpreters now located in Windows\WoW64\

Is there a way I can select which interpreter is called to run scripts? If not, could one be added? Has anyone else run into this yet?

This is what I think is happening: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2429477/cannot-use-createobject-from-vb-scripts-on-windows-7

They are running. I had put my debug messages in sub main() which doesn't run if you just call the macro as a .vbs. The rest of the problem is my use of vb6 controls which don't seem to be licensed under Windows 7.

I have Win 7 Pro 64-bit. I am running Mach3turn (Version R3.043.066) as administrator, but my macros aren't executing (to be sure, I added some debug messages to them that never pop up). They don't seem to run if I rename them .vbs and run them with a click them either.

I have tried googling for this general problem but I haven't found a clear answer. Has anyone run into this before?
