Did you get any error message when registering the DLL?

I'm having this problem as well. I registerd the DLL, and there were no
errors when doing that. The exact message is:

---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

---------------------------
OK

For VBScripts, run this command:

regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Try fixing the .VBS association settings. See "Step 2" here:

after registering the dll you have to go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Configuration\CurrentApplication and change
"RunningApp"="True" to false and that should fix problem
