ok. I'll share that so it at least pops up as an option for anyone
searching.

turns out over on the discourse post that the issue with this user was a
'lingering' mcafee and avast antivirus on his machine.  he thought he had
the built in windows defender as the only av running, and that wasn't the
case.  'deleted' (uninstalled? not clear) mcaffee and suddenly vbs's run
again.

so, yeah, this was def user machine side error.  but googling on here has
turned up a few help list and stackoverflow posts about people unable to
run the vbs file for one reason or another (that shouldn't be able to
happen, but it's windows...)
