Visual Studio 2008 not syntax highlighting vbscript ?

OK, this is weird. Just installed VS2008 from MSDN RTM build (this
machine has never had any beta builds on it). When I open a vbscript
file on same machine in VS2005, code-completion and highlighting is in
effect.

In 2008, it treats it just like a dumb file. Had a good google to no
avail. Anyone ?

(ps, couldn't see a dedicated VS or VBSCRIPT group, so the VB group
was next best match :) )
