I need Scripting.FileSystemObject in my programm.
Where I can find merge module that install windows scripting host.

In my installation I check IE5+ installed but
Under windows 95 if installing IE5.0 without installing Visual basic
scripting support.
I get that IE5 installed but Scripting.FileSystemObject is absent.

How I can install it. Or at least check during installation that
Scripting.FileSystemObject is not installed yet.

I use AppSearch to check for the Windows Scripting Host. Move the AppSearch sequence before LaunchConditions, put APPS_TEST into the property table.

Use the power editor to create entries in AppSearch, DrLocator,  & Signature tables:
AppSearch table -
Property=SCRIPTING_HOST_INSTALLED
Signature_=scriptinghost_sig

DrLocator table -
Signature_=scriptinghost_sig
Path=[WindowsFolder]
Depth=2

Signature table -
Signature=scriptinghost_sig
FileName=WScript.exe
MinVersion=5.1.0.4614

Add an Install Condition:
Condition=SCRIPTING_HOST_INSTALLED
Message=Windows Scripting Host (version 5.1.0.4615 or greater), is required. To install the Windows Scripting Host, run Ste51en.exe (found in the Misc\Microsoft folder on this CD).

You can find the Windows Scripting Host (in various languages) at: http://www.microsoft...ting.asp<p>Hope this helps,
Brent

Would it not be better to check the version of scrrun.dll if it's FileSystemObject you're interested in since that's where it actually comes from?

Signature table -
Signature=scriptinghost_sig
FileName=Scrrun.dll
MinVersion=5.1.0.4614
