I tried to execute the script through command prompt. I got some following error. Could you please advice me how to rectify this.

cscript D:\JS\Test.js
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

D:\JS\Test.js(1, 1) Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'app' is undefined.

Thanks,

You need to associate the .jx extension with Photoshop or change the ext to .jsx

I haven't use CS for quite some time and file associations may not work with the command prompt.

You can try using Windows Explorer to browse to a .js file then right click on that file. From the popup menu choose Open With. Even if you see Photoshop in the file list choose Browse at the bottom. Browse to Photoshop and make sure to check 'Always use selected program...'

If that doesn't work you will need to create an action that runs your script and make a droplet from that action. You can then use the droplet in the command prompt. You may also need to create a 'dummy' image file to launch the droplet with if you script doesn't require an open document at startup. See <http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=967>

Choose File-Automate-Create Droplet. From the dialog choose the action that runs your script. For most scripts you can leave all the play options unchecked. If you script doesn't save the document you can set the destination options if you like.
