 Logon Script won't run in Windows 98

I have written a .vbs script to copy a file down to users when they
log on.  Because the logon script must be a .bat, I have written a
.bat which calls the .vbs script.  The script runs automatically upon
logon on windows 2000 machines, but doesn't even start on windows 98.
It runs perfectly when I run the .bat manually on windows 98.  I
imagine there must be a setting or something somewhere that I can't
find, since the .bat isn't even run at all by windows 98.  Please
help.

Thanks,

Check:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/VBScript/scripting.asp

for the appropriate download to install Windows Script on the Win98
computer.  It should run fine then.

 Logon Script won't run in Windows 98
We have a lot of Win95 and Win98 computers that run our logon script (a
.vbs) called from a .bat file.  I never had a problem with this even prior
to WSH 2.0.  They are all now running Wscript version 5.1.4615.

BTW: What is the earliest version of of Windows Script that can run a .wsf .
I am modifiying our login script so the bat file calls a .wsf instead of a
.vbs, and I want to make sure it will still work on everyone...

Thanks,
Greg

WSH 2.0 (i.e., binary version 5.1.x.x) or higher...
