I am trying to run a .vbs file (and I have tried to run others), but
while I have

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe

and

File Types -- Open:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*


every time I try, I get the following message:


There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs"


Am I missing something or ...? Grateful for some help.

There is no script engine for file extension

Hi,

one of my friends referred me to http://www.completepcpedia.com/vbs_files.html

And I got a really cool solution from this website.

Try this:-

Step 1: Click “Start” and then click “All Programs” and click “Accessories” and right click on “Command Prompt” and click on “Run as…”.



Step 2: Now Select: “The Following user:”.




Step 3: Type the User Name: “Administrator” & Click Ok (If you don’t have administrator’s password) If you have the password type the password in Password field.



Step 4: Type the following command in the Command Prompt window as”

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll




Step 5:Press “ENTER”



You will receive the message as “DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded”.



Step 6: Exit the Command Prompt Window.The vb script registry entry is repaired which ensures that you can easily operate a file of this script on the PC.

Give it a try.
