Just installed Bluefish for Windows and let it take control of alot of the files that you might want to edit including .VBS files (Visual Basic Script).
After which I got the following error:
C:\Users\myusername\Desktop>cscript DownloadAndConvert.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".
The fix was to go into Registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vbs and change the "(Default)" entry from bfvbsfile back to the standard vbsfile.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vbs]
; @="bfvbsfile"
; change the default value from bfvbsfile back to vbsfile
@="vbsfile"
"Content Type"="application/x-vbscript"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vbs\PersistentHandler]
@="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vbs\ScriptEngine]
@="VBScript"
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Thanks for the fix. Really helped a lot.
Thanks! Please add to this page keywords "can't find script engine vbscript" which I was actually googling as part of error message.
Thanks! Really helpful!
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?
