KB917344 has broken JavaScript ASP

Since installing the security update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=16DD21A1-C4EE-4ECA-8B80-7BD1DFEFB4F8&displaylang=en
on our Windows 2000 server (SP4) all ASP pages which utilise Javascript have
stopped working with the following error

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0129'
Unknown scripting language
/whateverfile.asp, line 2
The scripting language 'JavaScript' is not found on the server.

Any ideas why, and how to fix it please?

I thought IIS only supported VBScript and JScript natively. Did you have a
3rd party JavaScript engine installed for IIS?

No, Javascript / Jscript same thing

Whether <%@LANGUAGE="JavaScript"% or <%@LANGUAGE="JScript"% are used, both
are broken

I posted the same problem yesterday to this group.
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.inetserver.iis&mid=62a36433-270e-4fb2-a537-00cf31b72a74
Later today I'll look into uninstalling KB917344 but I think this is one of
those problems that will take my backup to fix.
Maybe a few more postings of this issue will spark some interest.

Have you read the "Impact of ..." info on the following page for this patch?

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-023.mspx

Is the jscript.dll file still present and registered on the server?.....
does IUSR_[machine] still have perms to use it?
