[PATCH v6 0/1] MR10600: vbscript: Convert VT_DISPATCH arguments to string in Eval/Execute/ExecuteGlobal.
For VT_DISPATCH arguments, call the object's default property (DISPID_VALUE) to get a string value instead of returning the object via VariantCopy (Eval) or returning type mismatch (Execute/ ExecuteGlobal). This matches Windows behavior where passing a dispatch object without a default property fails with error 438, and objects with a default property have it invoked to obtain the string to evaluate or execute. -- v6: vbscript: Convert VT_DISPATCH arguments to string in Eval/Execute/ExecuteGlobal. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10600
