Hi Jim: I have avoided any windows programming but it looks like I can't do that anymore. OK, so I am creating a Windoweyes script in VBScript and want to access the .net environment. This means com. OK, now I created a dll with appropriate settings in VB.net 2008 express and tested the dll from another vb.net 2008 express project and it works. Now I have to register the dll using regasm.exe. To use regasm I need to give the Assembly a strong name first which is where the sn.exe comes in. Now, I found the exe modules in the appropriate file paths which are a little long and have spaces. I tried doing run from the start menu and cmd to open a command window then tried to run sn.exe but have to change to the proper directory. I tried copying the directory, in quotes" from a txt file into the command window following the cd command (change directory) and even tried putting the entire file path including the executable in the path but I can't seem to paste into the command line thingy. It would be better to just have a script or batch file to register the dll and put the Assembly in the gac so I don't have to mess with the command window. I don't like how it works with windoweyes anyway. Well, that's it. I am hoping someone has a script or batch file that executes something like this so I don't have to fight that cmd window every time I make a change to the dll during testing. I saw a short blurb on using environment variables in a command line but have not read up on that yet - another new technical I am hoping to avoid for now, phew! So that's my story Jim. If I can't get a batch file or script I might try using an environment variable but I would like to keep the entire process of developing and testing the com object compartmentalized in program code of some sort if possible. That might also give me a running start on deploying the com object.

If you want to add something after it, you would just put a semicolon, then the folders you want to use. What are you trying to do? Thanks.

I tried typing cd and then pasting the path enclosed in quotes into the command window but the paste does not seem to be working - nothing is being pasted. Is there some way to navigate around the command structure without having to type everything all the time? I am thinking of copy and paste, a batch file or a script or anything that I can use over and over without typing my fingers to the bone. I don't know whether to try building a batch file or script or whatever to just execute this program and others. If you have one, a sample would help allot so I can research the technicals you used.
