CScript/WScript Prevent an error from being blocking

vbscript automation wsh
FlySwat picture FlySwat · Sep 18, 2008 · Viewed 9.6k times · Source

Currently, WScript pops up message box when there is a script error. These scripts are called by other processes, and are ran on a server, so there is nobody to dismiss the error box.

What I'd like is for the error message to be dumped to STDOUT, and execution to return the calling process. Popping as a MSGBox just hangs the entire thing.

Ideas?
