CreateObjectWSprogID

CreateObjectWS is a VBScript function used to instantiate COM objects. It takes a ProgID (Programmatic Identifier) as an argument and returns a reference to the created COM object. The ProgID is a string that uniquely identifies a COM component and its version. For example, "Scripting.FileSystemObject" is a ProgID that allows access to file system operations. When CreateObjectWS is called with this ProgID, VBScript instructs the Windows operating system to locate and load the corresponding COM object, making its methods and properties available for use within the script. This function is fundamental for interacting with various system components and third-party applications that expose COM interfaces, enabling automation of tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention. It is commonly found in Windows administrative scripts and legacy application development. The function's behavior is dependent on the COM objects registered on the system.
