Is Scripting.FileSystemObject available with all OS's ?

[Nifrabar]

Hi !

I have seen in the past few days quit a lot solutions based upon a Scripting.FileSystemObject .

I am wondering wether or not this is possible with all OS's.
Or is there additional 'add-in' or some like that required.

I am asking this to prevent using a Scripting.FileSystemObject which might cause an error at a users' machine.

Bart,

The answer is No.

First, it is not avaiable by default with Windows 95. It has to be explicitly installed. With later versions of Windows, it might be installed but a user or adminstrator can choose to disable it.

Mike,

I have a computer with WinXP Pro and FSO is not working (or maybe disabled). How do I enable it?

TIA

Oh, so you mean it's just there in the Services? OK, I'll try it tomorrow in the office (can't find it in my home PC). Thanks.

Mike,
Thanks.
Does this mean that I can freely integrate Window Scripting into applications once I do distribute applications ?

Yes, providing your customer also has Windows Scripting installed on his computer. Or you intergrate it in your setup.
