When I try to run a vbs script using cscript in a dos prompt, I receive the

All rights reserved. Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs". I get the same error if I run wscript from the run dialog box. Any ideas? No help for the error in TechNet

Running a VBS script
The same error except in a Windows dialog box. I actually had to set the
association manually on the .vbs file. Those registry entries fixed the problem tho. TNX for the assist. Rick "Wesley Vogel" wrote: What happens if you double click the .vbs file?
