Hiya I just want to do some windows script host scripts, and I know that it is possible to interface with this thing called "COM" by using the WScript.createObject() method. What I don't know is what objects are available for instantiating with this method. My google-fu only shows me the thousand and one sophisticated methods available for instantiating and communicating with COM objects. There is one stack overflow answer with a powershell script which supposedly lists /currently available/ com objects. What I am insterested in is a list of objects that can reasonably be expected to be available by default on most machines with some version of windows installed. This appears to be a tall order. In particular what I am interested in is any /default/ available COM objects which may be used for image resizing and cropping. I want to know if this is possible without installing some external third party utility like image magick.
