Hi,

I have sample code which needs to get the current
directory from where the file runs,it works with windows
script host 5.6, but not it with 5.1

I read and found that current directory property is
available in 5.6 not 5.1

Wanted to find out the equivalent of it in 5.1.

// sample code//
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell");

var fso, f;
var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var sfile = WshShell.CurrentDirectory;
WScript.Echo(sfile);
///

Try using the filesysytemobject, run this from a folder other than C:\ as a
test:

var oFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var oFolder = oFSO.getFolder(".");
WScript.echo("From FSO: " + oFolder.path);
var oShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WScript.echo("From WScript.Shell: " + oShell.currentDirectory);
oShell.currentDirectory = "C:\\";
oFolder = oFSO.getFolder(".");
WScript.echo("From FSO: " + oFolder.path);
WScript.echo("From WScript.Shell: " + oShell.currentDirectory);
oFolder = null;
oFSO = null;
oShell = null;
