HI,
I am trying to use SmartWIM.dll with SmartWIM.vbs, which I downloaded from SmartDeploy, to take a machine image.
I get the error: smartwim.vbs(13, 1) WScript.CreateObject: Could not create object named "SmartWIM"
=====This is the content of “CreateImage.cmd” which kicks off the job====
vshadow-2008-r2-x64.exe -script=vss-setvar.cmd -exec=vss-exec.cmd c:
=====This is the content of vss-exec.cmd, which gets executed after the shadow copy is created====
call %~dp0\vss-setvar.cmd
:: Define temporary drive letter
dosdev Q: %SHADOW_DEVICE_1%
:: Try to execute some commands on the snapshot device
cscript smartwim.vbs /capture q: o:\C_driveBackup.wim "Drive C"
:: Delete temporary drive letter
dosdev -r -d q:
=====Thanks for any help on this. More details are below.
John

I have Windows 7 Enterprise. I installed SmartWIM using the install executable that I downloaded from SmartDeploy. Windows 7 comes with wimgapi.dll in C:\windows\system32 and in c:\windows\sysWOW64.
I am basically doing what is described at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/bg-BG/w7itproinstall/thread/caf1fad7-baad-4155-8326-95a84ae87a70.
The following is the output of running the job. It ran in an Administrator command window. I also tried running this is a 32bit command window (C:\windows\sysWOW64\cmd.exe).
