If you have control over running the cscript executable then run the X:\windows\syswow64\cscript.exe version which is the 32bit implementation.

To start a 32-bit command prompt, follow these steps:
* Click Start, click Run, type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe, and then click OK.
Then type
cscript vbscriptfile.vbs

Thanks a lot, it worked. :) Didn't know SysWoW64 contained a 32-bit command prompt, why is it named "SysWoW64" anyway?

WoW stands for Windows on Windows. It's a compatibility layer that makes 64-bit Windows act like 32-bit Windows so it can run 32-bit programs.

Very helpful and interesting, I didn't know that. Always nice to get closer to understanding the inner workings of Windows, thanks a lot.
