That didn’t work for me. I did find another solution:
1. Locate the file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf (inf is a hidden
folder)

2.right click and select “Install”.

Thanks for this solution. It fixed my problem for uninstalling the xampp.

Excellent! I issued the regsvr32 command using the “start —-> run” path.
And it worked!
Though it is a mystery how both vbscript and jscript dlls had got de-registered.

I tried to uninstall an Opera widget and got the error message “There is no script engine for file extension “.vbs”. Your solution above fixed my problem. Thank you. Really appreciated.
