Hi,
I've seen Paul Hughes' message "[Newbie] Trying to run MSWord from
Cygwin" dated 02 Mar 2006 and am having similar problems.
I'm also opening a ssh connection from a Linux box to a Windows
machine to run a Windows process using CreateObject within VBScript. I
have been able to replicate the problem using Excel so I know it's not
my other program that is causing the problem. When I run the script,
the process starts in the Task Manager but the script fails to proceed
any further. I didn't get any error messages originally but when I
reinstalled cygrunsrv with the -i option I did get a similar message
to Paul complaining about the CreateObject option.
As with Paul the script works fine when I run it locally when I am sat
at the machine but seems to hang when I am using ssh. I don't know of
any immediate workarounds and I can't change the software like the
suggested fix for Paul so do you have any other solutions?
You are aware when you ssh (or rsh/telnet, etc) into a Windows box using
Cygwin that you are using pty's and that many Windows programs don't
like pty's.
You might try re-writing that VBScript something more suitable for
Cygwin like Perl or something like that.
Many Thanks,
Steve
If you can, lose the following. It's quite annoying... (And yes I know
sometimes you can't... Don't know why companies insist on such long
