VBScript vs JScript - Windows Installer

After much pulling out of hair (like I have any to spare), using Windows Installer (WISE front-end) I have determined that, when using VBScript embedded within a Custom Action, you cannot instantiate the Windows Scripting Host Object (though you can use the FileSystemObject). OTOH, JScript can instantiate WSH. There may be other limitations of one or the other that I haven't come across yet, but, for now, I'll be sticking to JScript.

Hope this keeps someone else out there sane, Rob
