vbscript - Error: ActiveX Component Can't Create Object Scripting.FileSystemObject

Question

I have a simple vbs-file on my drive c: with following content:

Set objShell = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

When I'm trying to launch it, I get error

c:fso.vbs(1, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'

I tried to login as admin and execute wscript -regserver, but didn't help.

Can someone help me please?

Answer 1

Assuming you are logged in as Admin, please have a look in registry for Scripting.FileSystemObject under HKCR.

If you can not find this PROGID then you are missing the required files or the component is disabled (not registered).

Scripting.FileSystemObject is implemented in scrrun.dll.
