Thanks! Please add to this page keywords "can't find script engine vbscript" which I was actually googling as part of error message.

I had the same situation and uninstalled BlueFish to se if .vbs coul return to work. But this did not happened and in Registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT do not have .vbs extension. What could be done?
