Erik,

That was exactly the problem. I made the change you suggested and it created the image with no problems. I had earlier tried running the command that starts the job in a 32bit command window, but I neglected the fact that the VBS script would get run by a new 64bit instance of cmd.exe.

Thanks a lot,

John

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.

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).
