There are two engines to process the VBScript language. CSCRIPT and WSCRIPT.

In order to use VBScript you would need to be using script blocks typically in either ASP or ASP.Net as the format of your web pages.

VB5 is Visual Basic version 5 and it has nothing to do with VBScript that is included in Windows XP.

You don't have to do anything to the system to utilize VBScript in web pages, you need to format the pages to use VBScript. I recommend you check out W3Schools for learning how to program for the web.

I hope that helps.

To use vbscript alone, simply create a text file and save it as .vbs. Double click it.

hello.vbs

msgbox "Hello"

In an HTML file, use script blocks.

<script language="vbscript">
   'VBS code here.
</script>

If you use vbsript in HTML documents you pages will ONLY "work" in Internet Explorer and no other browsers support vbscript.

You could also use VBScript in HTAs.

These are great on target machines where there are no tools available. You can easily knock up GUIs and do all sorts. Most of the Visual studio installation front ends are HTAs.

Yes, MSHTA.exe is a 3rd script host, and until a version of IE blocks it IE is a script host for VBScript as well.

Even Office programs are VBScript hosts. There are also many 3rd party script hosts that accept VBScript.
