VBscript host disabled - Need to re-install

Question
-
I am running Vista Ultimate. I am trying to download a driver that supports hardware that streams video to my TV. When I try to download the driver, I get an error message saying the following: "VBScript engine is disabled therefore installation can not continue". Please enable VBScript engine before installation". I've tried to correct the problem by entering "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" in the Command Prompt, after which it says I've succeded, but I get the same error message when I again try to download the driver for my new hardware. The support guys for the product the driver is for, have suggested I re-install the Windows Scripting host from the Microsoft Download center but there is no product I can find there that is called "Windows Scripting Host" or "VBscript Host". Does anyone know what the exact name of the thing I should download to re-install the VBscript Host?

Hi John,
This is a developers forum for the program language Visual Basic for Net, almost the only thing VB for Net shares with VBS runtime is that it is also a Microsoft product and the two letters VB.
Try special forum for your problem.
