Where does csript get installed from?

Jason Feinber #1 / 4	Where does csript get installed from? Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before, but what installs Cscript? is it Option Pack, IE, or Windows itself? I have a setup program that runs VBS scripts, so beforehand it looks for cscript.exe in (WinNTdirectory)\system32 (install only runs on NT). It didn't find it for a customer, and after searching their machine, they didn't have it installed. I had her install Option Pack (not previously installed) and Cscript STILL wasn't there... Odd? Thanks! jason

Michael Harri #2 / 4	Where does csript get installed from? WSH 2.0 (WScript/CScript, the scripting engines, etc.) comes preinstalled in Win98 and Win2K. Early versions of Win98 (pre-Win98SE) came with WSH 1.0. The NT4 Option Pack also installs WSH 1.0 as an option (unless they've upgraded that install package). IE5.01 installs WSH 2.0 as an option (as the VBScript Web Authoring option I believe). You can also download/install WSH 2.0 from the msdn scripting site. -- Michael Harris MVP Scripting Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before, but what installs Cscript? is it Option Pack, IE, or Windows itself?

M #3 / 4	Where does csript get installed from? Minor correction - Win98SE still has WSH 1.0 - WSH 2.0 will be installed with Win98ME, though.

Serge Chegoria #4 / 4	Where does csript get installed from? Looks like SP4 and above install WSH engines themselves but for server configuration only, not for workstation. Is it true?
