Error code 0x80004005 in windows vista

[Beter 2 Burn Out]

Hi,
I am using windows vista and download Itunes when i try to install i got this message VBScript is not installed. I run command prompt and typed "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" and received the following message: The module "vbscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005.

Can anyone point me to just "how" I would go about installing VBScript on my system ?

Thank you for your answers

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.

On 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.

I've searched a lot on this topic and still can't figure it out.

I can't register vbscript.dll either, even with cmd elevated to administrator. I've also tried 'runas' from the command line. No dice. My account is administrator, and I've elevated all runs to administrator. I've created a batch file with the regsvr32 command, and run that .bat as administartor. Long story short, my OS doesn't respect the elevated runas. Any ideas?

To resolve the problem, repair the installation of Microsoft Windows XP by using the Windows XP CD, and then replace the files. To do so, follow these steps:

Thanks for the suggestions. But, as noted in my post, I'm running Vista (x86)

I got the error code 0x80004005 to disappear and successfully run iTunes on my Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit with this method. Thanks!
