VBS Trouble in x64

[MIKEYDSL]

I am currently using this script to install a new TCP IP printer port on my Windows XP Pro computers. It is working fine with no errors.

We recently had a new person working for us that has x64 on their laptop, and I was wondering if anyone can help with the scrip that I am using.

Current script (Windows XP)

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:")

Set objNewPort = objWMIService.Get _

("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").SpawnInstance_

objNewPort.Name = "BW_10.0.0.240"

objNewPort.Protocol = 1

objNewPort.HostAddress = "10.0.0.240"

objNewPort.PortNumber = "9100"

objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False

objNewPort.Put_

While running it on the x64 machine, it bombs out with Error on line 10 chacter.......

Does not complete the script.

Does anyone know what I have to do to get this to run.

Also the bat file that I have calls a bunch of Command line printer files

Here it is

cscript.exe BW_PrinterPort.vbs

md %windir%\inf\AP410N

copy *.* %windir%\inf\AP410N

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Ricoh AP410N Black and White" /f %windir%\inf\AP410N\oemsetup.inf /r "BW_10.0.0.240" /m "RICOH Aficio AP410 PCL 6"

exit

Nothing is running on Windows x64.

Thanks in advance !!

My understanding is that VBScript isn't supported on Windows x64 Edition. What little information I could find on the subject when I was in a similar situation a few months ago was that VBScript was considered a 'legacy' technology by Microsoft.

I was able to accomplish what I needed by rewriting my scripts in AutoIt.

Forgive my ignorance, but do x86 printer drivers work in Windows x64?

Oh, and welcome to MSFN!

Hey thanks for the quick answer. I really dont know how to use autoIT, so I guess that I am really at a loss.

That **** microsoft !!!

x86 Drivers do not work in x64. You have to have the x64 Drivers.

Thanks Again !!
