No VBscripting on XP?

[Jor]

I can't get any vbs scripts to run on WindowsXP, it claims "There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

I checked the registry, there is no entrty for .vbs present, but even forcing the scripting modules to run a vbs script (wscript "C:   empscript.vbs" or cscript "C:   empscript.vbs") doesn't work either.

XP won't allow me to install the Windows Scripting Host version 5.6, and a reinstall also didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Here it worked out of the box (xp pro us).
I'm using a vbs as logon script since installation.

So i guess there's something broken on your machine.
Probably you need to reregister one or more of these DLLs:

dispex.dll
jscript.dll
scrobj.dll
scrrun.dll
vbscript.dll
wshext.dll
wshom.ocx

"regsvr32 dllname"
AFAIK they must be all there.
