vbs snapin doesn't work after recent windows updates

[kovacsIVgabor]

I tried to run a vbs (with cscript.exe) snapin today and got this error in the fog.log:

Data::Hash ERROR: Unable to hash file C:\Program files(x86)\FOG\tmp\program.vbs

After I deployed the image which was captured in 2023 the snapin worked, so I am sure some windows update causing this.

My original FOG Client version is 0.11.19 I installed the latest release 0.13, which produces the same error.

Please help

Vbs scripts are deprecated as of this week with the latest Windows Update.

Will likely not fix as it's slated for complete removal.

I suggest moving over to PowerShell. There are lots more resources available for PS

Thank you for your reply. I kinda expected something like this, and the task was urgent, so I rewrote the script in powershell already. I feel like last man on Earth using vbs :) Thank you again.

No problem. It was bound to happen :)
