[?]: TIA Portal/ WinCC Flex script problem

[Homeroid_BL]

Hi all!

I have Windows7 Ultimate OS and WinCC Flexible 2008SP2, and TIA Portal V11 SP2 installed.

But, scripting does not work neither in WinCCFlex neither in WinCC Advanced V11.

Scripts like this, that worked before, now do not work.

Code: Select all

Sub Podizanje()
Dim fso, DatSet
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set DatSet = fso.OpenTextFile ("D:\Temp\Parking\Postavke\Settings.txt")
If (fso.FileExists("D:\Temp\Parking\Postavke\Settings.txt")) Then
	SmartTags("Sys_Parking_Grad")=DatSet.ReadLine
	SmartTags("Sys_Parking_Naziv")=DatSet.ReadLine
	SmartTags("Sys_Parking_Adresa")=DatSet.ReadLine
	DatSet.Close
Else
	SmartTags("Sys_Parking_Grad")=""
End If
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

Debuggers indicate line 2 (Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")) as a problem.

What is wrong?


Thanks!

Hi Homeroid_BL!


Was the previous OS Windows XP?

Hi L9!

No, it was always Win7 Ultimate.
On this laptop it is not possible to instal WinXP.

Sorry, sorry...
I just remembered that in fact I never used scripts in Win7. I used it only in XP SP2 and Vista (only for WinCC Flex, since TIA10.5, valid for that OS, does not support scrtipts), and it worked fine there.

Hi Homeroid_BL!


I think it is because Microsux tightened the user rights in Windows 7. Maybe the user doesn't have enough rights to create/write a file. (On Win7 is an administrtator is not equal the Administrator.)
I hava a similar problem: I use a script on my PC to change the proxy-settings in the browers and to launch some programs depending on where I am (in the office or at home). The same script worked fine in WinXP and has errrors in Win7.

Code: Select all

Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.Run "C:\Program Files\someapp.exe"    <- this line causes an error

I hope I could help you a little bit. (At least with some ideas to continue searching for a solution for you problem.)

Yesterday evening worked, now it's not working.
Dear Simenes, how do you expect that someone PAYS for this TIA V11 shit?

[Homeroid_BL]

It is working today, grrrrrr..... But I do not know why..

Lepes9, you were right. Something in Win7 'locks' target file and prevents script to be executed.
Deleting target file and restoring then from Recycle bin, helped and script can be executed.
