Problem with WScript.Shell
Philip_Salgannik
Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and
Millennium Editions.
The version of WSH in Windows 98, 2000, and Millennium Editions is either
version 1.0 or 2.0. You must upgrade to version 5.6 to get the new
features.

There's more to read, but it looks like you can include the WSH DLLs (or
even the entire install) in your app installation routine.
