Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Can you please try to install VBScript, from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/webdev.asp and report whether this works?

Logged In: YES user_id=1171290 Dear Mr. Löwis, Your presumption was right: vbscript 5.6 was all that was needed to make the installation run! Thanks a lot for your help! Ralf
