|
|
One user has reported a problem when installing on Vista x64. I've personally installed Salling Clicker on a number of Vista machines without problems.
Anyways. Apparently this is a problem affecting a number of application installers, and I found what appears to be a solution here:

This is the fix (copied from the forum post above, typos included):

Vista for some reason dosnt register VBScript. What you have to do is first of all find where vbscript.dll is, mine was in C:\Windows\System32, but I think it changes dependant on your version. Next you need to go to start -> accessories and the right click on command prompt and click “run as administrator”, next type “cd C:\Windows\System32? (replace the dir if its differnt for you) and then type “regsvr32 vbscript.dll”. It should then confirm that vbscript has been registered and everything should work.[/quote] |

Something to keep in mind for Vista x64, there are 32bit dll files & 64bit dll files...
Funnily enough, it appears the files in C:\Windows\System32\ are actually the 64bit files...
So for a 32bit program that needs to use the vbscript.dll you will need to register the 32bit version, which lives in C:\Windows\SysWow64\
I had this problem with Adobe Photoshop CS3 & registering the SysWow64 versions of vbscript.dll & jscript.dll fixed it.
Cheers
