            Bug ID: 44578
           Summary: cscript cannot create file dialogue using vbs
                    ShellDispatch_BrowseForFolder VT_ERROR
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org

cscript cannot create file dialogs with vbs, which is a shame as it could
provide a really simple way to test wine.

First I confirmed a simple message box worked by creating a file hello.vbs
containing:

MsgBox "Hello world"


Then running


wine cscript hello.vbs



Then I tried various examples to create file dialogs and none worked, here is
one -

Function BrowseForFile()
Dim shell : Set shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim file : Set file = shell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a file:", &H4000)
BrowseForFile = file.self.Path
End Function 
MsgBox BrowseForFile 



That ran, displaying nothing - this error was in the console -


0009:fixme:shell:ShellDispatch_BrowseForFolder (0x159e98,0,L"Choose a
file:",4000,0x33f150 {VT_ERROR: 80020004},0x33f2f8)



This was tested with wine set to emulate a desktop
