I'm running windows vista home premium on my pc but I've had too many problems getting spss work run smoothly. I've tried to uninstall but each time the error message "internal error 2738" pops up, and the operation terminates. I've had to resatart my pc several times but I can't find a solution to the problem. Can anyone help please
Hi Charles - This error indicates that the VBScript DLL is not properly registered on the Vista machine. You should be able to fix it it running the command
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
from a command prompt. Please let us know if this fixes the problem
Jonathan you rock!! I was having a problem installing an update for Windows Vista, it kept saying "error 2783", and something regarding "VBScript run time for custom action". Anywho, in the run command, (bratcherbs, click the start button then click the run command then type the above regsvr32 vbscript.dll then ok) I entered the above and wella, it worked!!!!!! Problem fixed!!
Thank you soooo much Jonathan!

Hi i had the same problem and i try and it work, can i add (regsvr32 vbscript.dll) in the autoexec.bat.
Thanks
Connie - Great to hear that it helped you!
Maxim - That shouldn't be necessary, once you've re-registered the DLL it should stay registered across reboots
Charles - Did you get your problems sorted out I don't know what you mean by SPSS.
when i tried that i got another error code
[Window Title]
RegSvr32
[Content]
The module "vbscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005.
For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term.
[OK]
if anyone can help me that would be great.
Thanks very much. This solved my problem and "Palm" uninstalled just fine.

OK - so maybe I'm the idiot here...I've read several threads on this error and all say the same thing ... "run as an administrator". I get the "run" command prompt (from Vista), right click and get the usual stuff that includes properties. It says I'm the administrator but it won't let me "run" anything. How do I make it let me "run as administrator"
Thanks,

No you're not an idiot! LOL..i just did the same thing until a light bulb flashed in my head. I was running a regular "run" prompt. What you should do is go to All Programs > Accessories > then right click on "command prompt" then you should see run as administrator.
I just did it and it worked perfectly..
many thanks this worked for me
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
