1. Re: How could we share .vbs scripts under WDIR on both Windows and Linux when mapped path names (actually pointing to same location) are different? Or could we put both paths in .vbs?
Just remove the paths from the scripts.ini, the scripts will be found by searching the WDIR environment variable, which can be set appropriately for each platform.
[Viewdraw]
Script#0=Site_Menu.vbs
On windows, set WDIR=C:\local_WDIR;u:\Site_WDIR;%SDD_HOME%/standard
On Linux, setenv WDIR /home/username/local_WDIR:/apps/lib/Site_WDIR:${SDD_HOME}/standard

Hi John, Thank you for the quick response! That's great news, I do use different WDIR on Linux vs. Windows, and will remove the path for .vbs in scripts.ini. Does that mean I could remove other paths (in Red below) for .vbs under the WDIR as well? For example:
In Site_Menu.vbs:
sButton.Caption="Create Status BOM"
sButton.OnAction="Run U:\Site_WDIR\Scripts\Status_BOM.vbs"Set sButton = sMenu.Controls.Add
sButton.Caption="Create EC BOM"
sButton.OnAction="Run U:\Site_WDIR\Scripts\EC_BOM.vbs" -

Yes, the Run command will search the WDIR to find the script file, you can remove those paths as well.

I just tested (removed the paths in U:\Site_WDIR\scripts.ini, and U:\Site_WDIR\scripts\Site_Menu.vbs), it seems not working for us. After the change, when launch DxDesigner, it says "Could not find file 'Site_Mennu.vbs' in Primary Project Directory or in WDIR path" on both Windows and Linux.

Typo possibly? Site_Mennu.vbs
Also, on Linux this will be case-sensitive, Windows is case-insensitive.
You can double-check the WDIR environment variable by running the 'system' command in DxDesigner, and using the vlwhich program.

the typo not in the real file, and not in WDIR. because I can see the Site_Menu from DxD right before I remove the paths from those two files, and everything else was/is working (ie. library), only saved those files & reinvoke Dxd, and see the error message.

John's recommendation works! It did not work for us before, because our scripts are located under a sub-folder of the WDIR path (Thank Roger McNeil to identify that!). Once adding the sub-folder to WDIR, the .vbs scripts are found by DxD. Thank you for the greate solution!
