Guest Smirnoff Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I'm trying to install Windows Install Cleanup Utility. I save it to the desktop but get error message: Windows Script Host: Script: c:\Documents~1\Admin~1\locals\temp\IXP000.tmp\StartMsi.vbs. Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: ActiveX component can't create object: ScriptingFileSystemObject. Code: 8000A01AD. Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error. I downloaded Dependency Walker and it informs me that DWMAPI.DLL is missing. I did some searching and noticed that Windows Desktop Manager was also missing. Is there a way I can repair WDM or do I just have to search for and download DWMAPI.DLL?

Guest Smirnoff Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Re: DWMAPI.DLL Thanks for your reply, Ramesh. Unfortunately, neither of the two examples given in your link are the same as mine. I did try running regsvr32 scrrun.dll and was told that it started successfully. However, I was presented with the same error when I tried to install WICU. As part of my efforts to resolve the problem, I tried installing Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP but was told I already had a later version on my system (SP3?). However, that seems to be a solution for restoring scrrun.dll, which I already have. Further searching reveals that it seems to be associated with Vista: http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en/vclanguage/thread/bc7a7414-6564-40bb-b8d2-af86345f2bc2/ Some other posters are connecting it with IE7 and Windows Server. Others report that it's a bug that got through the net and that MS has yet to fix it.

Guest Smirnoff Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Re: DWMAPI.DLL Cracked it! I found the answer in "Related Articles" at the bottom of your original link: Error "Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script" when installing the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/209/1/Error-Cant-find-script-engine-VBScript-for-script-when-installing-the-Windows-Installer-Cleanup-Utility.html Ran: regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll This succeeded but the new error showing when installing changed from: Error: ActiveX component can't create object: ScriptingFileSystemObject to: Error: ActiveX component can't create object: "Wscript.Shell". I then found another related article at the bottom of the page: Error 800A01AD when trying to run a VBScript. http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/19/1/Error-800A01AD-when-trying-to-run-a-VBScript.html Ran: regsvr32 wshom.ocx (succeeded). WICU installed OK after this. Hope this helps other posters and thanks again for your help.
