No, it looks like you can't use script. A quick look at
the DLLs type library shows that the functions are
dealing with mostly long and string datatypes, while
VBS only deals with variants and objects.

That may be answered by the following responses
from AntiSPAM.... and Ralph.
VB is not like C++ that way. You can't just buy a compiler.
It's an MS product that was originally $100 for the
academic version and $500 retail, for VB6. And now
it's off the market. So you just have to look around.
But if you can find someone moving to .Net from
VB you could buy it from them. The EULA clearly
states that it can be resold (or otherwise transferred to
another owner) once.
