When iI ry to add mscript.dll to my references in a VB.net project using VS 2.010 I got this error:

Colud not load file or assembly 'mscript.dll' or one of its dependencies. The module was epected to contain an assembly manifiest.
This file may not be a management assembly

Can you help me to add this to my references?

Thanks[/img][/list]

mscript.dll is a native Win32 dll not a .Net assembly. So you do not want .Net to attempt to load it.

As I am not a .Net developer I'm not really sure what putting something in your "references" means.

I would expect that you are using the mscript OCX and loading it dynamically (e.g. using a CreateObject) rather than linking it statically in your project somewhere. Make sure that the files are in the same folder as your projects .exe.
