Getting error ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scriptin

I am getting below error when running vbscript using C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe as below.

C:\Users\abcd\Desktop>type a.vbs
Set objFile = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

C:\Users\abcd\Desktop>
C:\Users\abcd\Desktop>C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe a.vbs

C:\Users\abcd\Desktop>
C:\Users\abcd\Desktop>C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe a.vbs

C:\Users\abcd\Desktop\a.vbs(1, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX
component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'


C:\Users\abcd\Desktop>

I have searched for the registry entry "Scripting.FileSystemObject" and found the entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{GUID}\ProgID. But I didn't find similar entry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432.

What could be the solution for this issue? Any technical information about this issue would be helpful.
