I have this script that launches an HTA which needs to be started with admin rights.
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
isLocal = MsgBox("Launch app for a local configuration ?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Settings")
If isLocal = vbYes Then
objShell.Run "src\Configurator.hta"
Else
'This code doesn't matter here
End If
This script runs fine when started normally, but when I execute the VBS as Administrator (via context menu), I get a File Not Found error for the objShell.Run "src\Configurator.hta" line.
When I add the following code, it gives the same result for both executionning methods (gives the directory where the script is executed).
scriptdir = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
MsgBox scriptdir
Any help or explanation on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
You can take a look at this : Procedure to run HTA elevated

I am currently working on a game launcher and have working code borrowed from the Internet to be able to parse an INI. All is working excellently save for one issue.
It cannot parse inline comments on the ini file.
Example:
[Window]
Width=800
Is parsed fine and without issue, great.
[Window]
Width=800 ; width in pixels
But the above is not, I need it to be able to stop reading the line at detecting a ; if possible.
Here is my full HTA code:

I'm looking for a bit of code to get an HTA to restart from the beginning. I have seen a forum on this site that creates an HTA that calls a .vbs and cyclically restarts, but I'm looking for hopefully a line or 5 or code that will start an HTA from the beginning.
What I could do is have the script re-open the HTA with the shell.run command and then close it, but is there a cleaner way to do this?
Here is a complete example showing how we can use Location.Reload(True) to reload the HTA file

In referring to a comment by #MCND, to restart a script, simply implement
location.reload True

I was hoping someone would be able to proved me some direction. I would like to set an application launcher I have created to require a password to be closed. Thank you for any assistance you are able to offer.
But here is some incomplete code to show you my purpose.
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
dim password
password=InputBox("Please Enter Password:","3 - Tries Left")
if password = ("9999") then
dim correct correct =MsgBox("Correct Password!",64,"correct")
objShell.Run("shutdown /m shutdown -r -f -t 0")
Else
dim again
again =MsgBox("Incorrect Password! Do You Want To Try Again?",53,"Incorrect Password!")
If again = 4 Then
dim password2
password2=InputBox("Please Enter Password:","2 - Tries Left")
if password2 = ("9999") then
dim correct2
correct2 =MsgBox("Correct Password!",64,"correct")
Sorry ! I was unable to post all of the code.I just need to know what to put to close the existing window. I think telling it to close MSHTA.EXE will work.
Try this HTA and i hope that can did the trick.
NB : The Password is 9999 and of course you can change it at this line
MyGoodPassword = "9999"

Just wondering how i could have a MSgbox that displays the value of a variable as it constantly changes. Basically a number has one added to it everytime it loops. I want to display that in a MSGbox that doesnt have to open a million windows
A workaround would be to use PopUp
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
For i = 1 To 3
objShell.Popup i, 1, "AutoClose MsgBox Simulation", vbInformation+vbOKOnly
Next
This will "autoclose" the MsgBox lookalike after 1 second
You can't do this with the default VBScript dialog elements, like MsgBox, WScript.Echo or Popup. You need to build a custom dialog using the Internet Explorer COM object:
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Navigate "about:blank"
While ie.ReadyState <> 4 : WScript.Sleep 100 : Wend
ie.ToolBar = False
ie.StatusBar = False
ie.Width = 300
ie.Height = 200
ie.document.body.innerHTML = "<p id='msg'>0</p>"
Set style = ie.document.CreateStyleSheet
style.AddRule "p", "text-align: center;"
ie.Visible = True
i = 1
Do
ie.document.getElementById("msg").innerText = i
i = i + 1
WScript.Sleep 2000
Loop Until i > 10
or use an HTA instead of plain VBScript:
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID="oHTA"
APPLICATIONNAME="Test"
SCROLL="no"
>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
p {text-align: center;}
</style>
<script language="VBScript">
window.resizeTo 300, 200
Set sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Sub Window_onLoad
For i = 1 To 10
msg.innerText = i
Sleep 2
Next
End Sub
Sub Sleep(t)
sh.Run "ping -n " & (t+1) & " 127.0.0.1", 0, True
End Sub
</script>
<body>
<p id="msg">0</p>
</body>
One more solution, uses HTA window, without temp files:
dim window, i
set window = createwindow()
window.document.write "<html><body bgcolor=buttonface>Current loop is: <span id='output'></span></body></html>"
window.document.title = "Processing..."
window.resizeto 300, 150
window.moveto 200, 200
for i = 0 to 32767
show i
' your code here
next
window.close
function show(value)
on error resume next
window.output.innerhtml = value
if err then wscript.quit
end function
function createwindow()
' source http://forum.script-coding.com/viewtopic.php?pid=75356#p75356
dim signature, shellwnd, proc
on error resume next
set createwindow = nothing
signature = left(createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib").guid, 38)
set proc = createobject("WScript.Shell").exec("mshta about:""<script>moveTo(-32000,-32000);</script><hta:application id=app border=dialog minimizebutton=no maximizebutton=no scroll=no showintaskbar=yes contextmenu=no selection=no innerborder=no /><object id='shellwindow' classid='clsid:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2'><param name=RegisterAsBrowser value=1></object><script>shellwindow.putproperty('" & signature & "',document.parentWindow);</script>""")
do
if proc.status > 0 then exit function
for each shellwnd in createobject("Shell.Application").windows
set createwindow = shellwnd.getproperty(signature)
if err.number = 0 then exit function
err.clear
next
loop
end function
This script will display how many loops it took and the value of a variable during the loop, and display the results in 1 message box after the loop is complete.
Dim RateOfChange, roc, watchvariable : roc = 1 : watchvariable = 1
for i=1 to 25
watchvariable = (watchvariable * i) * 16
RateOfChange = RateOfChange & "Iteration[" & roc & "]" & " - Value[" & watchvariable & "]" & vbcrlf
roc = roc + 1
next
'NOTE uncomment this below to activate msgbox.

wscript.echo rateofchange
Okay, I will try asking this question again.
I used this code:
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\test", 1, "REG_DWORD"
I get the error 'Invalid root in registry key' Code: 80070005 (Access Denied)
The code works with other registry roots. I am logged on as an administrator. It works when I run it from an elevated command prompt. But I am making this VBS as a prank to a friend to make him not know what I'm doing. Any ideas?
The best way to distribute registry setting is by exporting the part of a registry where this setting is active to a .reg file with the registry editor. In the save part of the export dialog you choose Win9x/NT4 as format. You can check the .reg file with an editor. The user only has to double click the .reg file and confirm the prompt and possibly reboot his pc. Even normal users should be able to do this. If the registrybranch you try to change is protected by security he wil have to do this with admin right and possibly (depenidng on OS version) start regedit with the the regedt32.exe executable and first adapt the security of that branch so that it can be changed.
Doing this with a script means having to pass additional layers of security to make sure this isn't a malicious script.
