Any additional information:
I tried to add ActiveXObject manually, which also did not work:

declare const ActiveXObject: (type: string) => void;

A hotfix is to add ActiveXObject manually:

interface ActiveXObject {

}

Another option is to add scripthost to your libs.

Closing this since I don't think anyone would fix.

Reopened because this seems easy enough to fix, even if the answer is to just document the inclusion of scripthost in libs.
