Problem With LISP Code on Corporate Machine vs Home Machine

@Bill Tillman: I just created that from Lee's code in order to allow you to see the error that is issued; I didn't had in mind any kind of optimization. Please don't ignore that Lee paid attention to other elements - clean behavior and memory garbage clean-up.
For sure my excerpt it will not compare in terms of simplicity and effectiveness with the equivalent line below (presuming you have Lee's routine loaded at start-up from a utility library):

(LM:Popup "X" "TEST" 2)

MSasu,

I made sure that (vl-load-com) had been executed and then ran the command above from the console and got this message:

; error: bad argument type: VLA-OBJECT nil...

Tell's me your WSH is not setup correctly. There might have been an issue while installing which didn't register your scripting host as a COM server.

Perhaps try re-installing it from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188135
