Olav Kvern correctly pointed out that the scripting guide says Try using browse to add the file "Resources for Visual Basic.tlb" that you'll find in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 3.0\Scripting Support (where "user" is your user directory.

I had already seen that in the guide but could not locate the file. It turns out that my Win XP was not showing hidden and system files and folders so that's why I was unable to find the file. I made them visible and was able to find and install this TLB file which immediately (of course) solved my problem.

Thank goodness (or thank Ole) Adobe cares enough to staff these forums! Their telephone support didn't have much idea what I was talking about, and after an hour on the phone someone at (Adobe Developer Network no less) said "we don't support scripting any more."

There were a few scripting changes from InDesign 2 to InDesign CS, but it only took a couple of hours to fix them and get our backoffice workflow working with CS.
