VBScript task fails at 4.3

After upgrading to GE 4.3 we're finding that our workflows that use the VBScript task are failing.  Has anyone found a workaround for this?  

Here is the screenshot of the message.

  Hi David,

  Depending on your task, an alternate would be to use the InvokeMethod activity.  Here is another post explaining how they used it -

  After some more discussion with support, there appears to be an issue with the VBScript activity at 4.3 in general.  I asked my customer rep for some feedback from the product team for more information on this issue and if Latitude can provide a hotfix, or if we need to plan on modifying our workflows.

  Hi David,

  As a workaround you can delete the following folders from the REST\bin directory:

  • el
  • es
  • fr
  • nl
  • no
  • pl

  These contain the language resource satellite assemblies for the REST API. If you remove them (or all but one of them) then there won't be any duplicate assemblies. The consequence is you will lose a few language string translations from REST API error messages if you do this.

  We will come up with a permanent solution, but this should get you up and running again.

  Also, this issue only affects the VB Script activity. The C# Script activity works exactly the same way but it is fine.

  @Ryan, thank you for posting this.  It fixes the problem, and the language issue does not affect us.
