Really dumb question

[Michael A. Covington]

Do all copies of Windows 2000 and XP include VBSCRIPT support?

Or is VBSCRIPT (WSH) an add-on that some users might not have?

"In the core C# language it is simply not possible to have an uninitialized
variable, a 'dangling' pointer, or an expression that indexes an array
beyond its bounds. Whole categories of bugs that routinely plague C and C++
programs are thus eliminated." - A. Hejlsberg, The C# Programming Language

It is included, but I cannot say whether vbscript.dll is not hampered on any
given system.

I think so, but w2k may not include the most recent. One way to update is to
install IE6.0

If you are working on a script (logon script?) that needs to be run on all
workstations, you may or may not need the latest version. I'd suggest
setting up w2k and wxp machines as minimally as possible (include up to date
service pack and security patches, but install no apps or upgrades, then try
out your script.

Or you can download and install WSH 5.6 from here:
