WScript.Quit error in Win98

[rudejohn]

The code below is in a *.vbs file. I'm running the same code in WXP, W2K, and W98. It works in WXP and W2K, but not in W98. I run this code via a batch file designed to capture the exit code:

Dim WshShell, OSVer, objIE, objShell, fso, oArgs, temp1

'Set oArgs = WScript.Arguments
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")

Const num1 = 1
Const num2 = 2

If num1 >= num2 Then
MsgBox("WScript.Quit(8)")
WScript.Quit(1)
Else
MsgBox("WScript.Quit(2)")
WScript.Quit(2)
End If



In W98, the batch file ALWAYS captures exit code 0 for some reason. I tried debugging using my advanced method of putting message boxes in the code... it appears to still be running ALL the code. I tried looking on MSDN and searching this site but I've been unable to find anything thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What version of Wscript are you running on the W9x ?

You can download an upgrade to verion 5.6 Here

Think that could be the problem...

Please tell me if I'm wrong I like to learn from my mistakes...

Okay, a colleague of mine here at the office answered my question for me.

Apparently when you run a *.vbs script in Windows98 through a DOS prompt, you have to start it like this:

start /w myfile.vbs

Otherwise it doesn't wait for user-interface or other application actions before continuing (thus I was getting the 0 error code all the time).

Thanks for your assistance!
