iTunes VBS scripts fail

I'm guessing this is something to do with Vista because it works fine on my laptop, but basically I'm trying to run a VBS script which clears out duplicates from iTunes. The VBS file runs fine on my laptop which is running XP, but doesn't run on my desktop running Vista x64 Ultimate (only doing so because it exceeds the max spec for XP Pro).

When I try and run the script I get the following:
C:\Users\Enverex\Desktop>cscript Remove_Dup_iTunes_Tracks.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Enverex\Desktop\Remove_Dup_iTunes_Tracks.vbs(32, 1) Microsoft VBScript
runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'iTunes.Application'

I've tried reinstalling iTunes and I've tried installing the x86 version of iTunes, no change. It does this for any iTunes VBS script, not just this one (and as I said they work fine on my laptop).

So any ideas?

    I was reading some about this stuff, and I think they changed some of the ActiveX commands. But to make sure, are you positive this user has Admin rights?

    Yeah, user is the only user on the machine, me, and I do everything else with this account. I thought it may be something to do with iTunes 7>8 (laptop is still on 7 I think) but wasn't certain. Any ideas where to get the latest version of 7?
