VBS Expected End of Statement - iis-6

Question

I am a newbie to VBS scripting. Thanks for all your comments! I fixed error 800A0401 now, thanks to your helps. But now I'm getting error 800A0414 on line 13, character 1 "Object required", which refers to line:
Set MimeTypesToAddArray = Array(".manifest", "application/manifest", ".xaml", _
Now I understand how line counting works; it does count comment lines. I am still reviewing all of your suggestions, but if u have any tips on how I can fix this error now that would be super!
(I do not agree about needing to put "Dim" on separate line from type values because I've seen so many examples of doing this. Are any of u VBS experts?0

I don't think you can Dim a variable and write to it on the same line.
Try these as separate lines:
Dim MimeTypesToAddArray
MimeTypesToAddArray = Array(".manifest", "application/manifest", ".xaml", _
"application/xaml+xml", ".application", "application/x-ms-application", _
".deploy", "application/octet-stream", ".xbap", "application/x-ms-xbap", _
".xps", "application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument")

Answer 2

If you're going to combine a Dim statement with an assignment on the same line, you have to do it like this:
Dim MimeTypesToAddArray : MimeTypesToAddArray = Array()

Answer 3

I'm not familiar with VBS just VB6 but I believe the error is that you are doing a DIM and an a assignment on the same line. VB6 did not allow this so I assume VBS does not either. So maybe something like this is what you want. Also it does look like it counts blank lines and comments.
Dim MimeTypesToAddArray
MimeTypesToAddArray = Array(".manifest", "application/manifest", ".xaml", _
"application/xaml+xml", ".application", "application/x-ms-application", _
".deploy", "application/octet-stream", ".xbap", "application/x-ms-xbap", _
".xps", "application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument")
