    You can try the last solution, if the VBscript.dll, which is there in the
    same location on Vista as it is on XP, is not registered is to enable it,
    using Regsvr32.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304405

    However, I would say the Quicktime installer using the VBscript is not
    compatible with Vista's VBscript.dll.

    You should contact Quicktime for a possible workaround.

    It's the principle of the that solution where it gives instructions to
    register the Dll with the XP O/S to enable it, if it's not enabled. That's
    what you need to look at and understand, when trying to apply a possible
    solution.

    Both XP and Vista are NT based O/S(s), they have the same Dll/file in both
    places, and they have the same command Regsvr32 to register that Dll.

    So what that the Dll's are two different version running on two different NT
    based O/S?

    I suggest that you go to the Command Prompt off of All Programs Accessories
    and do the Run As Administer on the Command Prompt by right-clicking the
    line.

    And when you 're at the Command Prompt, you enter that command below
    verbatim.


    regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll

    <copied from link provided>
    1.. regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll
    2.. A message should appear stating that the "DllRegisterServer in
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll succeeded."
    3.. Click OK and try installing iTunes or QuickTime again.
    <end copy>

    If the solution doesn't correct the problem, then you need to contact
    QuickTime for a possible workaround or ask them when are the going to have
    something that's Vista compatible.

    All you're doing is issuing commands to the O/S to register that dll if it's
    not registered.

    I hope you understand here what's happening when a solution from one version
    of the NT based O/S can be applied to another version of the NT based O/S.

    Re: quicktime 7 error 2738

    When I registered vbscript.dll I got an error message but when I went to
    install quicktime it worked. I was also was able to install an ie7
    plugin highight viewer which also had the same 2738 error.

    Thanks for the info
