  • Did this start after you installed some software? If so, try reinstalling it.

Reset to default

Let's try this first.

Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do so, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. Type the following command in the Command Prompt window, and press ENTER.

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll

You should see the following message:

DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.

Now see if the problem persists.

Have you checked the file associations?

  • File associations is a good guess. In my case it was that Notepad++ was trying to handle .js files.

Check to see if Windows remote management is installed, and reinstall the WSH configuration settings:

  1. Find the Windows/inf directory.
    • Enter %windir%\inf into the run, command-line, or Explorer address field and press Enter (this directory is commonly located at C:\WINDOWS\inf)
  2. This directory is hidden; unhide as follows:
    • Tools → Folder Options → View → Advanced Settings
    • Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
  3. Within the inf directory, find the "wsh.inf" file.
  4. Right-click on the file and select Install.
  5. Retest the scripting engine.
  6. This will restore these files:
    • .js
    • .jse
    • .wsh
    • .vbs
    • .vbe
    • .wsc
    • .wsf

  • Hi, I don't see any wsh.inf file. What could I do in this scenario?
