    I am trying to install a program that I downloaded called Favorites Home Page. During the installation a popup window appears saying: Input Error- Windows Scripting Host. Unknown Option- "//e:jscript" specified. Any Ideas on what this means? As always, thanks for your help. Michael

    Open a DOS box and enter wscript //?

    Displayed should be a list of options one of which is:
    //E:engine Use engine for executing script.

    WSH comes as standard with 98 (SE certainly). If you get a 'bad command ...' then come back - you may NEED to reinstall WSH.

    gammaepsilon, I did as you suggested and there is no //E:engine Use engine for executing script. How would I go about reinstalling WSH?

    Click here.

    This is the latest version and is an all embracing install ie all documentation is included; unlike earlier versions when we had to download separately. You'll get WSH and both the js and vbs engines.

    Got another popup that says; Script: C:\Program Files\Favorites Home Page\homepage.js Line:520 Char:5 Error:Incompatable version of the RPC stub Code:80070725. What can I do now? Think I am making progress, but not sure which way. Thank you. Mike

    I've just downloaded fhp.zip, installed it and executed it. It worked fine - I'll keep it!

    Never seen your problem before.

    Goolged 'RPC Stub'. Looks like your installer is playing you up. Not my area of expertise.

    Go here & good luck.
