On Win2008R2 x64 I get
Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".
when starting a .vbs
file.
Here are a couple of possible solutions from this blog:
Open a command prompt and type (make sure you have admin privileges in the console):
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll
Or if that doesn't work.
Locate the file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf (inf is a hidden folder)
right click and select “Install”.
wsh.inf
between wsdscdrv.inf
and wstorflt.inf
, ... on the whole system there is no wsh.inf

You can register a default scripting host:
cscript.exe //H:WScript
You may also want to try adding these registry keys:

But I believe the .REG files provided are the same
try installing WSH 5.6 and let me know how it works.
the HKR\Vbscript registry entry was missing on mine
previous entry worked https://serverfault.com/a/100630/402397
