Windows Vista: installing iTunes
installing iTunes
by jack_201 - 3/7/07 7:56 AMI have Windows Vista on my computer. I downloaded the iTunes 7.1, but when I went to install it, it said that VBScript is not installed, and I need to install that in order to install iTunes. Can anyone point me to just "how" I would go about installing VBScript on my system. I think It could be some $#$% security setting that Vista locks down the VBScript, so if that is the case how I go about enabling it for the iTunes install. or any other procedure to install iTunes
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you
iTunes is not yet Vista compatible...

Apple has made a great deal of progress, but iTunes still bugs out on people at random points while running on Vista, so even the latest version is not fully compatible. My suggestion would be to just give them a little time to work out the kinks before installing it.

Is UAC enabled?

Just wondering. Someone is telling me to turn it off.
no problems after disabling UAC

Here's how to do it:
UAC, otherwise known as UAP (User Account Control/User Account Protection) in previous builds is another one of those features that just seems to get in the way of doing your work. This feature is designed with the average user in mind who needs this kind of protection to keep themselves out of trouble. If you are reading this then chances are you know how to manage your own system. Here is how to disable UAP:
1. Press the Windows Key + R (winkey + R).
2. At the run prompt, type "msconfig" without the quotes.
3. Go to the Tools tab, scroll down and select "Disable UAP" and click the run button.
4. You should see a command prompt open and it will say "Command completed successfully".
5. Reboot and enjoy the freedom to control your system as you wish.
That being said, no problems with iTunes itself. My 30gb iPod works fine. my 8gb Nano isn't recognized...LOL...I'm sure there'll be a new iTunes version within the next month or so...
still doesn't work
by shamoore11 - 3/20/07 12:55 AM In reply to: no problems after disabling UAC by hickman71i'm still getting the same message about vbscript. what now?
Have you installed the newest iTunes?
by Mayor - 3/20/07 1:26 AM In reply to: still doesn't work by shamoore11Was snooping around the net and found that Apple has released itunes 7.1.1 Go to the Help Tab in Itunes and see if you have the latest release installed. That may be the problem. It solved a lot of things for me.
Good luck

vbscript and iTunes
by richard mitnick - 4/4/07 2:03 PM In reply to: 7.1.1.5 by shamoore11I think that this is one of those times when the message is in error. I got the same message with iTunes. But I have installed so much other stuff with no difficulty, that I believe the problem is iTunes.
I checked my Windows\system32 directory and vbscript.dll is right where it belongs. I am not going to do anything for any one piece of software that jerks me or my computer around. It is too new, and too expensive, and I am too old.
I recommend waiting and coming back at the next release. I don't *need* iTunes, I was just going to try it out. If you must have it, then your decision might be different than mine.
Put vbscript into one search box with vista in the other. There are lots of "fixes."
vbscript.dll for Vista 64 users is in
by mammarro - 6/14/07 4:20 AM In reply to: still doesn't work by shamoore11C:Windows\SysWOW64\vbscript.dll
I kept trying to activate the one in System 32 then I finally noticed that I was doing the wrong one, so when you using the prompt command type in
cd C:Windows\SysWOW64
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
This is what works on my HP Slimline Vista Home Premium
by Darmananda - 6/25/07 11:29 AM In reply to: still doesn't work by shamoore11On your keyboard, hit Windows key and R key together.
Type "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" without quote.
Click OK.
If you see the message "DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll succeeded," you are ready to go.
Try installing the iTunes again.
It worked for me.
iTunes won't load with Windows Vista OS
by spudnla - 4/14/07 11:49 AM In reply to: installing iTunes by jack_201I have Windows Vista (computer came loaded with it) and all went well with everything that I've had installed. But, I can't for the life of me figure out why iTunes won't complete loading. I had my libraries all ready to go on my external drive but each time I try to load iTunes 7.1.1. the "updating libraries" dialogue comes up and gets to about 75% and then just freezes. It just won't go any further. I can't stop the updating libraries message before it starts as it goes right into it when loading iTunes.
Anyone else having this problem?
How to enable vbscript and install itune for vista
by new_Learner - 5/4/07 11:25 PM In reply to: installing iTunes by jack_201I just searched with google and found that below information is useful to fix this problem. Please have a try.
-------------------------------
When I tried to install Quicktime on Vista Home Premium, the installation wizard stalled at initiation with Error 2738.
This is because vbscript.dll is not registered.
I found this post on another site for registering vbscript.dll (the Apple suggested method did not work for me error 0x80004005 presumably because administrative power is not invoked first):
Hi, found the problem. 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. This will fix a few installs, i found the same problem with itunes as well.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
James
Running Quicktime install works fine after this.
I've been using Itunes with Vista since

Registering vbscript.dll in Vista
by rjdomo - 5/8/07 11:55 AM In reply to: How to enable vbscript and install itune for vista by new_LearnerJames,thanks. This worked for me, however, I first had to disable DEP (Data Execution Protectection) for the regsvr32.exe app. Mine is a new HP PC with Vista pre-installed and it supports the DEP feature.

Still not working
by banstyle69 - 5/12/07 6:19 PM In reply to: Registering vbscript.dll in Vista by rjdomoI tried doing the same thing but got the following error message: The module "vbscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005. Plugging this into the MS site brings up stuff about XP SP2, but nothing with Vista. It basically requires a re-installation of Windows, but I'm on a Compaq that came with Vista preloaded. Not sure how to disable DEP, or if it's relevant considering the error message. Any help?
