Here are a couple of possible solutions from this blog:

Open a command prompt and type (make sure you have admin privileges in the console):

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll

Or if that doesn't work.

  1. Locate the file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf (inf is a hidden folder)

  2. right click and select “Install”.
