    I don't know if this will help but I have Win 98SE and the file you mention (msscript.ocx) is not installed on my machine according to Start/ Find and I am fully up-dated. That would suggest that it is not a missing System file. I can only suggest that you try and repair IE by going to Start/ Programs/ Accessories/ System Tools/ System Information/ Tools and run the first program in the drop down box, i.e. the Internet Explorer Repair Tool.
    This worked for work collegue on 98SE

    or you could try :

    Apparently you have not read this:

    Read it then ask the magic 8 ball your question again.

    I am running windows 2000 and i get this error "Failed Updates
    For help installing an update successfully, see the solution under each problem description."

    Problem: "A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being downloaded or installed
    Solution: To fix the problem, try installing the updates again. "

    here is a screen shot:

    Your login may not have local admin authority, so the updates would not install. If you account does have local admin authority, you may want to check that your anti-virus real-time service is not running during the installation.

    Chances are it is something simple and silly like that.
