Known Issues

VBScript Installation Issues with VMC 9.x on Windows XP and Vista

What is the fault?
When uninstalling some Windows programs, they seem to unregister a DLL which is part of the visual basic runtime environment of Windows XP or Vista. This affects the installation of VMC, as VMC depends on these system components. This is a known Windows issue which is called 'reference count problem'.
Windows Vista seems to be more affected than XP

What does the user experience?
A user tries to install VMC 9.x. At the end of the installation, it starts to roll back (uninstalls itself). There is no error message shown.
If the installation is logged, the following error is shown in the log:
'Error 2738: Could not access VBScript runtime for custom action'

Which software & devices are affected?
VMC 9.x. The device does not matter, as the problem occurs earlier.

Resolution status
To solve this issue the following steps must be done:
1.) Check whether the file vbscript.dll exists in the %SystemRoot%\system32\ directory.
2.) Check whether this OLE component is registered correctly.
If not, the user MUST register the vbscript.dll using regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll.
- open a command prompt
- type "regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll" (without the "")
If the vbscript.dll is not available, it has to be copied from the operating system install CD/DVD.

Sounds great. Now all we need is to get the Novatels out the door. I am betting the retail manager in charge has gone on holiday though .. ;p

We ordered some E220's in the meantime.. but they out of stock too. Doh!

On a plus note, one of our engineers trialed the E220 earlier and is reporting it works fantastically when he does remote office support.
 
v3g, where do i have to subscribe myself in order to be announce when the new version of VMC, that supports Vista, will be released and available?

I have Vista on my notebook and I need the new version of VMC desperatelly.

Thanks,
Florian
 
/me are looking for new version of VMC...:(

just received my monthly MS present with a Vista DVD included and feel like playing....
 
Definately digressing alot, but I'm Infrastructure Manager at a Gold Partner so yeah, monthly present gets sent my way.

Pity my laptop doesn't support ALL the bells and whistles of Vista.

Oh and setting up a GlobeTrotter on Vista is a PAIN in the rear end..... VMC won 't install... had to jury rig it to pick up the drivers...

WE should be getting the Vista V9 soon.
 
/me are hoping... :)

who do i have to hunt down and kill to make the process happen faster?
 
Any news yet on the Version 9? The Huawei software does not work at all for me on Vista Final Release. It simply will not accept any of the drivers in that Huawei package and believe me I have tried everything :mad:
 
Cool V3G ... I am subscribed to this thread so I look forward to hearing from you in a day or two (hopefully). Cheers ;)
