As in the topic, VBS scripts have ceased to work in version 19.0.1

Likely the reason is that 19.0 had reused the guid of 18.5, causing e.g. trouble with third party plug-in installers. This was fixed with 19.0.1 by giving 19.0.1 a new guid.

Now either your registry is pointing in the wrong direction (uninstall, reinstall, eventually as admin), or the vbs still goes thru the 19.0 tlb. In that case you need to rebuild the tlb with the changed guid. Moving the tlb out of its location should trigger that in theory, haven't tried it myself.

I think registering TLB file is only needed when running external scripts - VB6 code compiled as EXE? Not when VBS script - plain text - is run from inside - Scripts Pallet?
