A command line script can't contain neither HTML markup (<whatever>) nor reference components provided by the browser (document).

A hello word VBScript should look like

WScript.Echo "Hello world"

or

MsgBox "Hello world"

depending on whether you want to use a console (cscript hello.vbs) or wscript/double click on hello.vbs.

(cf. here)
