Did you get this using the scripts exactly as shown? I've just checked and it works fine with the scope simulator. Its also OK with the Celestron driver using NexRemote with no scope connected. I did see an error 70, Permission denied if I tried Meade.Telescope with no scope connected. So: Make sure the script works with the scope simulator. Try it with the same driver as you normally use with other programs. Make sure that you try it with the scope connected to the PC and initialised. The scripts aren't very good at closing after the error, I had to use Task Manager to stop the script. Ask again on the Ascom-Talk group. There is a lot of activity about the RCX driver at the moment so the Meade people should be listening. By the way, you may also need an unpark script. Use Park.vbs as a guide and replace Park with Unpark everywhere.
