FWIW ... I had the same problem but reinstalling WSH 5.6 caused other problems on my machine (I think b/c I'm on 5.7.) Eventually figured out that a syntax error in a .js file caused the error. Before Windows Update put a new version of WSH on my machine it was reported as a syntax error. Seems the new version issues a different error.
