Hmm, not for anything that .NET uses. Perhaps it is for something else,
like an install project, or something of that nature.

This allows a developer to create a VBScript that he can then "include" in a
web site using the "<script language='vbscript' type='text'
src='vbsfilehere'>". The developer can also create VBScripts that run on
their local machine using WScript. WScripts are powerful scripts that can
perform most tasks that an administrator can ask for.

Personally, I use them to execute regasm on our development, test, QA, and
production servers to register our COM+ components via a Remote Desktop
connection window. Since we don't allow ASPNET to have access to modify the
registry, we do it manually and our VBScript (converted into an HTA) allows
us to do this without writing a separate .Net application and without having
to manually type in the regasm commands every time we deploy.

HTH,
