Re: Windows Script Host has no script engine for ".js" files
Dear MowGreen -

Thanks for the ideas. I had tried the regsvr32 previously, and it
doesn't work. I am hesitant to try and run the XP registry merge as I
am unclear what it does and don't want to make a bigger error than what
I am solving. I did follow the link to the microsoft download site to
download and reinstall the scripting engine, and I am struck that
although there are various packages for XP, for NT, for Windows 2000 and
the like, there seem to be no packages for Windows Vista.

Any further ideas you (or anyone else) has would be most appreciated.
