  2. I had this error and just deleting that folder did not help.
    Here is what I had to do:

    delete the following folders
    "C:\Program Files\Vbsedit"
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vbsedit"
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Adersoft
    C:\ProgramData\Vbsedit
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Pdm
    "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Scripting\Remote Debugger"
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ScriptDebug"

    delete the following registry keys
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htafile\Shell\Edit with Htaedit]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htafile\Shell\Edit with Htaedit 32-bit]

  3. AND ALSO:
    a bunch of randomly named subkeys in:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID
    and
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID
    with names like "45235962-512f-4835-88d9-868778f6dacc" etc...

    The thing is, it was hard to know which ones were added by a previous install of vbsedit and needed to be removed vs those that were already there and shouldn't be removed.
    I recommend that you install vbsedit again and select the "only for me (USERNAME)" option when installing.
    Then look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID, backup this entire key.
    Then look at all the subkeys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID with names like "45235962-512f-4835-88d9-868778f6dacc".
    Thene delete all subkeys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID
    Then find all subkeys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID that have names that are the same as the subkeys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID and delete only those subkeys.
    Always make sure to backup the registry parts that you edit. Good luck.
