Hello.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with service pack 1, although
this problem existed even before SP1 was installed.

Although under both Firefox and Internet Explorer I am able to fully
utilize websites with javascript, and seem to be able to run other
scripts (installation and otherwise) with little difficulty, there are a
minority of installation scripts that lead to the following window
popping up and the script terminating:

WINDOW TITLE: Windows Script Host
MESSAGE: There is no script engine for file extension ".js".
POSSIBLE ACTIONS: OK button only. When pressed, the
action seems to terminate without
completion.

Any thoughts of this? I have been poking around in the Microsoft KB
about the Windows Script Host, and I have come to understand what it
does, but I can't locate what is causing this error.

Is there a way to completely uninstall and reinstall the Windows Script
Host?

Thanks.

-Stephan.
