You probably mean Windows Script Host (WSH), which is
what supports running .vbs files. (VBScript is also supported
in IE, Windows Installer, etc., but WSH is what interprets
VBS in .vbs files on Windows.)

WSH is pre-installed post-Win98. It can be installed via
downloaded inastaller on Win95/98. But there are some caveats:

1) Some people, especially network admins, remove
all or part of WSH for security reasons.

2) Many security programs such as anti-virus will block
the running of script *simply because it is script*. The
exact same operations allowed from an "unknown" EXE
may be blocked when coming from a .vbs file.

So while WSH is widely supported, whether it will work
on your target machine is another issue.
