Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script

I get the following error message when I run the vbscript named 'GetDiskSize.vbs' in Windows 2008 Server.

Can't find script en开发者_开发知识库gine "VBScript" for script 'GetDiskSize.vbs'

The vbscript has been registreed as regsrv32 VBScript.dll but still not work. Please help.

The usual fix would be to reregister the dll:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll

But you mention you've tried that.

Some Antivirus products insert themselves in the registry so that they get called as the scripting engine before passing on to the vbscript/jscript engine. It could be that this has caused problems. Try uninstalling your antivirus to test if this is the case.

If all else fails, and you're on Windows XP you could try reinstalling WSH 5.6:

so I had the same problem for the longest time and I just realized why:

I had associated vbs files with Notepad++ and that's why it didn't work! After removing the association, vbs apps finally work again!
