Enable VBScript - installing DisplayLink via Windows 8 PC

[CodeDog]

When trying to install DisplayLink-7.0M2.exe I get the ERROR:

'The VBScript engine is disabled therefore installation cannot continue. Please enable VBScript engine before installation.'

Here are a FEW of the things I have tried;

• I've tried the Microsoft FixIt from http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9648765
• I've tried registering using regsvr32 \windows\system32\vbscript.dll (from an elevated command prompt) returns: DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.
• I've disabled my firewall.
• I've run the install directly FROM the CD included in the Targus Docking Station packaging
• I've downloaded the DisplayLink_7.0M3.exe file directly from DisplayLink's website and tried running it both within the browser (IE and Chrome) as well as dropping the file onto my local hard-drive and running it from there.
• I've read through ALL the forum messages that contain "VBScript" in the body of the message.
• I've searched the Internet widely for other clues/solutions.
• I can NOT find anything keeping VBScripting from running on my Windows 8 machine.

Please review the attached ZIP file, which is the output from using the DisplayLink Support Tool.
Please tell me I do NOT need to return this device to the vendor!!
