AppleScriptTask throwing an error 5 - invalid procedure call or argument

Question

Hi there,

I'm facing a problem on Mac 2016 Powerpoint. In my VBA module I need to run an applescript. As we cannot use MacScript anymore I followed RonDeBruin's explanation to use AppleScriptTask. My Applescript is working fine on his own but when I try to call it like this :

  AppleScriptTask("hello.scpt", "myhandler", "hello")

With in my apple script

    on myhandler(paramString)

say paramString

End myhandler

It gives me an error 5 - Invalid procedure call or argument

my script is placed in Library/Application Scripts/com.microsoft.Powerpoint is this path alright?

Thank you for your help

Answer 1

I did not download any script. I just followed the method described there to use an applescript in vba on office 2016.

This script is perfectly working in script editor. I'am assigning the return value but i get this error while i'm doing everything as i am supposed to. 

Worse, i've tried on a friend's Mac and it works

Answer 2

From where/which website did you download the RonDeBruin's script?

Was it related to PowerPoint or any other application?

Could you provide the link from where you got the script?
