	You can use [[wp>Windows_Script_File\|Windows Script File]] (WSF) and its ''<reference>'' tag for that. It makes WSH import all //enums// from the assembly type library into constants in script namespace with name like ''<type>_<member>'', e.g. ''Protocol.Sftp'' becomes ''Protocol_Sftp''.

-	In case you need to use custom error handling, instead of aborting the script on error (the default for WSH), use ''[[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/53f3k80h(v=vs.85).aspx\|On Error]]'' statement.	+	In case you need to use custom error handling, instead of aborting the script on error (the default for WSH), use ''[[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/53f3k80h(v=vs.85)\|On Error]]'' statement.

-	Use ''On Error Resume Next'' to disable default error handling. Then you need to query ''[[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbf5ze0e(v=vs.85).aspx\|Err.Number]]'' after every statement to test for errors. You can revert to default error handling (aborting the script) using ''On Error GoTo 0''.	+	Use ''On Error Resume Next'' to disable default error handling.
