Active X component can't create object

When I try to run the following script:

strRemoteComputer = "COMPUTER.NAME"
strWorkerScript = "Set_Default_Printer.vbs"
Set objWshController = WScript.CreateObject("WshController")
Set objRemoteScript = objWshController.CreateScript(strWorkerScript,
strRemoteComputer)
objRemoteScript.Execute

I get the following error:
---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Script:
Line: 4
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error



Any ideas on what I can do to solve this would be very welcome. I have
Administrative permission on the target computer so I'm pretty sure that is
not the culprit. The local script is in the same directory as the remote
run script too.

Thanks in advanced!

On the remote computer, check the registry key,
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings" for a string
value named "Remote". If it is missing, that would cause the error you
describe. It should be set to "1".
