I decided to use the script encoder instead:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/vbscript/download/x86/sce10en.exe

it's as simple as:
screnc script.js scriptEncoded.js

and including it with:
<script LANGUAGE="JScript.Encode" src="scriptEncoded.js"></script>

it's much simpler and to the point. HTA looks like a lot of fun...
a new window of possibilities (lame pun intended).
