Is there a way to detect if a user has vbscript installed or enabled?

Currently, if I send VBScript to an ie browser and VBScript is not
installed, IE will prompt the user to install VBScript. I'm trying to avoid
that by first checking if a user has VBScript installed and if not, then not
sending them VBScript.

So I'm trying to write client-side JavaScript or server-side VBScript (ASP)
to
determine if a user has VBScript installed/enabled in their IE browser
before I send them an HTML page that contains VBscript code.

Any ideas would be very helpful!!

Thanks,
-Derek

Here's an idea.... just use JavaScript in your client-side code.
