Run the command prompt as administrator - Start/Accessories/Command prompt, right click "Run as Administrator"
Type (or paste) the following at the command prompt just as it's shown - and then press Enter:
reg query "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32"
[You can Copy the above and then Paste it by selecting the far upper left corner of the Command Prompt window, then Edit/Paste]
The response should be:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32
(Default) REG_SZ
C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll
ThreadingModel REG_SZ Both
If it only reads "
vbscript.dll" instead of "
C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll", that's OK too. Anything else means some program (usually McAfee on a new Dell or Kaspersky) has overwritten this and probably two other registry keys, as well.
You can fix it by going to the following article, downloading (right click, SaveAs) the .reg file and running it by double clicking it in Windows Explorer.

This is the
reg file
FYI - if McAfee happens to be the issue, I downloaded their removal tool and it fixed it. Just uninstalling McAfee left the registry still butchered up. Thanx Dell. Thanx McAfee. But, the Removal Tool worked.
Their removal tool can be Downloaded and then run from
http://download.mcafee.com/products/lic ... s/MCPR.exe.
Here are the three key that normally get butchered by other programs (especially antivirus ones) and that then cripple vbscripting capability in Windows 7 64-bit:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B54F3742-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B54F3743-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32
The data value for each should either be "vbscript.dll" or the full path, "C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll" - (no quotation marks).
These are also the three keys that the .reg file, linked above, will fix - for Window 7 - 64 bit only!
Hope that gives you a clue.
