>>>Shell.Application requires that you have SHELL32.DLL version 4.71 or later on the target system. This rules out systems with WIn95 pre OSR2 that don't have IE installed, or NT 4.0 prior to NT SP3.

The Shell.Application is not part of the WSH, and WSH doesn't contain the SHELL32.DLL needed to update his system. Either his shell version is hosed, or his registry.
