unzipping a file in VBS - errors with Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.2026]

Question

I have a vbscript that (among other things) unzips a compressed file. The code has been working on a number of servers

one pc was just upgraded to Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.2026]

and now it errors.

set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

set FilesInZip=objShell.NameSpace(myzipfilename).items

---> Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: 'objShell.NameSpace(...)'

any ideas? pointers?
thanks!
