There is no script engine for file extension “.vbs” error

Being the typical geek I installed software and started seeing There is no script engine for file extension “.vbs” errors. The program installed was NotePad++ on my Windows XP workstation and is an awesome tool for programming and editing in general and not to mention it is free.

Anyway, when the program was installed it took the .vbs extension and vbscripts stopped working and started throwing the error. There is an easy fix.

  • Locate the file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf (inf is a hidden
    folder) so you will have to un-hide it.
  • Right click and select “Install”.
