There was some setting I found in the application settings to make it
stop attempting to register vbscript and that fixed the problem on my
machine. I mention it just in case you're using PSPad too.
It became such a problem for me that seriously ended up sitting with
procmon open while I worked. I had it filtered to the vbscript
registry values in HKCU and just waited until I did something that
created the keys. If you don't use PSPad, you might try the same
thing to find out what's doing it on your machine.

Bummer. So these installers just decide to re-register the DLLs to
be sure
that they're registered, and as a result probably break their own
functionality.
Thanks for the response, Rob.

Check that vbscript.dll and jscript.dll aren't registered in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU), checking for the registry keys below.
VBScript, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{
