The only bug here that was introduced in VBS is 
that the following is illogically allowed:

If boolean Then statement Else statement End If

as the "End If" is only part of the multiline If,
not used or needed in the inline If syntax.

Correct is:

If boolean Then statement Else statement

It is said that years ago [2003??] MS did put in an exception
for that error during an update and immediately sites 
like cnn.com came tumbling down, so they restored the error.
