Error code 2738 while installing Quicktime or iTunes on Vista

Whenever I try to install iTunes I am getting a Error 2738 on my screen. The same kind of error also appears when I try to add Quicktime. I am using a Windows Vista system and I have to sync my friend ipod with the system. But I cannot install as I am getting error 2738 while running the installation. Any one got solution for this.

The error is due to vbscript engine. You can download that from apple website. Before that you can run the setup with one more thing. You can try running the same in admin account if you are not doing that. The error also appears when the setup is run in limited user account. If the error is not resolved it is better you install vbscript engine and then check back.
