enable VBScript on Windows 7 (64 bit)
Hi All,
For some reason my laptop wont allow me to run .VBS files.
It returns the following error
can't find script engine "VBScript" for script
"C:\Users\laptop\Desktop\t
inside test.vbs all i have is a hello world snippet;
msgbox("Hello world")
Any idea how i fix this?

run both of them and they return the same values you listed
A couple of other items:
Are you running 32 or 64 bit?
When you did the regsvr32 command, were you in Administrator mode?

it's 64bit and used to have McAfee installed (not sure if that might have loocked it down, but i've uninstalled it)
Tried it as Administrator without any luck

Gave it a try, but it didn't work. It looks like it run ok as this was logged;
"System32 - Successfully repaired vbscript.dll"
"System32 - Successfully repaired jscript.dll"
"System32 - Successfully repaired msxml3.dll"
"System32 - Successfully repaired msxml6.dll"
"System32 - Successfully repaired scrrun.dll"
"SysWow64 - Successfully repaired vbscript.dll"
"SysWow64 - Successfully repaired jscript.dll"
"SysWow64 - Successfully repaired msxml3.dll"
"SysWow64 - Successfully repaired msxml6.dll"
"SysWow64 - Successfully repaired scrrun.dll"
Could there be a software restriction in place?
