I had already started typing when I started my search for a solution to my problem, and realized that the title I want to use for this post is the exact same as the blog on which I found the answer to the question I had of “installing quicktime on vista”. The answer is straight forward enough, but I certainly want to thank the author, Keath, for his solution to this problem, which is quoted below.
The iTunes/QuickTime installer will fail with a “VBScript not installed” error on some installations of Vista. I’m not sure exactly what leads to this situation as it does not seem to affect all Vista users, but there is a relatively simple fix:
- Click Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator”
- cd to your windows\system32 directory
- enter the following command:
regsvr32 vbscript.dllThis will re-register VBScript and allow the iTunes installer to run.
Now I can get back to what I originally was trying to do, which was watch the trailer for Fallout 3, which I got to from this article on Digg, which I then eventually just went to a direct link to the .mov file.
