Then:

Start -> Run
Type: regsvr32 scrrun.dll
Hit Enter.

Tell me if anything comes up, if not, then try reinstalling Win Installer.'Windows Script 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000
Brief Description
THIS UPDATE IS BEING RE-PACKAGED AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE SHORTLY.'

from your link.

and:



[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Well atleast the DLL is there, the link was for a reinstall in case that the DLL was missing.

Try reinstalling Win Installer Cleanup now.startmsi.vbs:

Code: [Select]Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
bRemoveMSECACHE = False

sProgramFiles = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ProgramFiles%")
If sProgramFiles = "%ProgramFiles%" Then sProgramFiles = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir")

sMSECACHEPath = sProgramFiles & "\MSECACHE"
If Not fso.FolderExists(sMSECACHEPath) Then
fso.CreateFolder(sMSECACHEPath)
bRemoveMSECACHE = True
End If

sTargetPath = sMSECACHEPath & "\WICU3"
If Not fso.FolderExists(sTargetPath) Then fso.CreateFolder(sTargetPath)

fso.CopyFile fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) & "\M*.*", sTargetPath
fso.CopyFile fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) & "\r*.*", sTargetPath

sCmd = "msiexec.exe /i """ & sTargetPath & "\msicuu.msi"""
iRC = WshShell.Run(sCmd, 4, True)

If iRC <> 0 And iRC <> 3010 Then
fso.DeleteFolder sTargetPath, True
If bRemoveMSECACHE Then fso.DeleteFolder sMSECACHEPath, True
End If


line 5, where the error occurs:

Code: [Select]If sProgramFiles = "%ProgramFiles%" Then sProgramFiles = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir")

which means that the WshShell.RegRead call is causing the error. Since earlier functions used to create and use the FSO (which resides in scrrun.dll) succeeded, the problem s probably not with scrrun.dll or it's registration- and is unique to this line.

WshShell is not in scrrun.dll, but rather an object in wshom.dll, the Windows Script HOST Object Model.

So- try:

Code: [Select]regsvr32 "%systemroot%\system32\wshom.dll"

then see if you can run the utility.this happened:

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Go to Start/Run and type in SFC /scannow and hit Enter...
Have your XP CD handy.
Let it run to completion...remove the CD and re-boot.oops, my mistake. it's wshom.ocx, not dll.Click Start, Run and type:
