While trying to install IncrediMail the installation stops and this message appears: Error 2738 Could not access VBScript run time for custom action. Upon contacting IM I was told that this was not a program problem, but was an error on my system.
I need something that will allow the error to not appear, like a fix for VBScript which I have not found on my computer or a place to install it.

VB Script Error 2738
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up. Totally worn out & screaming "Wow, Wee What a ride!

Re: VB Script Error 2738
Have you searched the web on that particular error, Gloria? There are numerous references to it, although not to the specific application you're trying to install. Take a look at this article in particular, since it gives instructions for registering the runtime on your machine.

It looks like Charlotte beat me to it with an answer. Here is a clip from another source that more or less says the same thing.Gloria E wrote:While trying to install IncrediMail the installation stops and this message appears: Error 2738 Could not access VBScript run time for custom action.

1.1 Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories
1.2 Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator
2. If you are using 32-bit version of Windows:

Re: VB Script Error 2738
Thank you so much, Your Majesty. I followed your directions exactly and lo and behold, this message appeared:Charlotte wrote:Have you searched the web on that particular error, Gloria?

DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll suceeded.
Now I'll try the download again and hope and pray that the problem is no longer a problem
If it works, I'd like to buy you an ice cream soda. Thanks again and I'll let you know if my program installs this time.

Her Majesty did indeed beat you to it and her solution seems to have paid off. The Dll was registered, now to try and install my misbehaving install file again.

Re: VB Script Error 2738
I'm devastated to have to report that IncrediMail did not install.The same error message reappeared. That VB Script Runtime problem is driving me up a wall. Looks like I need more help.Gloria E wrote:Thank you so much, Your Majesty.

Re: VB Script Error 2738
Do you save the install file on your PC?
Do right click the install file and select "run as administrator"?
Have you tried disabling your anti-virus software before running the installation?
Have you tried running the installation in safe mode?

Re: VB Script Error 2738
I will try and select as you suggested. My anti-virus program has not been installed yet. I'm saving that to last so that it will not interfere with all the installations I have to perform. I have not tried Safe Mode, but I will.JoeP wrote:Do you save the install file on your PC?
