ASP Error 0201

ASPRunnerPro General questions

i have been using ASPRunnerPro 4 since its launch, and have found it be an indispensible tool, enabling me to create online versions of MS Access Databases.
everything was working fine until about 12 hours ago, when every project i open or try to create keeps displaying the same error:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0201'
Invalid Default Script Language
The default script language specified for this application is invalid.
I tried to fix the problem myself by doing general google searches, and was greated with two possibilities.
The first was to change the default script language to JAVASCRIPT, apply it, and then change it back to VBScript by using the CONFIGURATION tab within IIS services.
This did not help me.
the second suggestion was to disable web-sharing (through windows explorer) for the folders containing the code, and then re-applying it whilst ensuring group permissions were correct.
This also did not work for me.
this brings me here, in the hope of finding someone else who may have had the same problem at some stage before and found an answer to it.
i am in the middle of a project that needs this program and am a little worried that i am going to have to start all over again with something else.
i am fairly certain that due to the nature of the error, it has nothing to do with the program itself, but am posting here in the hope that someone may feel my pain and offer suggestions other than those listed above.
many thanks for any and all help offered.
unfortunately, since i am unable to even test this program locally, i have not taken the time to upload the files and test them there, as doing so does not help me solve the problem, and i will obviously need to test the finished system locally as it is being fine-tuned.
also, since none of the previous projects which i already know work, no longer work, again, the fact that it has something to do with the program itself is even more certain.
all i can do is cross my fingers and hope that i do not need to reinstall windows, otherwise i think i may cry.

This error has nothing to do with ASPRunner.
Check the following article for the way to resolve it:

More specifically you need to reinstall scripting engine from here:

thanks for the advice, but can confirm that both resources have been fully tried and tested without luck.
i do realise that this has nothing to do with your program, and after spending the entire day researching this subject and finding myself in countless forums for countless other ASP errors cropping up all over the place within the last week or so, it seems to be (by summary of the community in general) that Microsoft recently released an update that seriously screwed everyone up (as far as ASP access was concerned).
the only tried and tested solution that I was able to find had found was to reinstall the OS and turn off automatic updates. obviously, in a business critical environment this not an option, and so if anyone finds any other solutions other than those listed above (which are also listed on every other forum i was able to find about this ASP error), please make sure you let as many of us know as possible.
i will surely be doing the same. fortunately, i have another pc i can continue the work on, but this is a serious pain in the backside, so am still extremely eager to get this solved.
