           Summary: Windows Scripting Host installs but doesn't work?
           Product: Wine

            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-msi

        ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com


The activeperl msi installer
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.8.817...
failed because it wanted Windows Scripting Host installed.  

I found a copy of the Windows Scripting Host 5.6 for Win2K installer and
ran it without any trouble.  I verified that cscript.exe appeared in
windows/system32. 
However, running cscript.exe with no arguments didn't print out
a banner, as it's supposed to according to 
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-...

And ActivePerl still things WSH isn't installed; running with +msi
shows
trace:msi:MSI_GetPropertyW returning L"Absent" for property L"WSCRIPT.SHELL"
right before it aborts.

Something seems awry here...
