           Summary: cscript.exe from WSH (Windows Scripting Host) can't even
                    print a banner without native ole32
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.16.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-ole
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com


In windows, download the Windows Scripting Host 5.6 for Win2K 
installer from Microsoft.  Reboot into Linux, then install as follows:

rm -rf .wine
notepad          (and quit immediately)
cp MFC42.DLL .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
wine installers/WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe

The install completes successfully.  Now try to run it:

wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/cscript.exe

This should print a banner, but doesn't.  
Installing DCOM98 and setting ole32 to native as follows rescues it:

winecfg          (set win98, and set ole32 to native only)
wine DCOM98.EXE
wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/cscript.exe

The latter command now prints a banner as expected.
