Problem with reinstallation of Windows Script 5.6

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

While installing McAfee AntiVirus Software I got the following Internet
Explorer Script Error.
“An error occurred in the script on this page
Line 297
Char: 2
Error: Active X component can’t create object :�Scripting Dictionary�
Code: O
URL: mcp://C:\PROGRA~\McAfee.com\Agent\REGWIZUI.DLL::default.htm
Do you want to continue running Scripts on this page
Yes No�

My operating system is Windows 98, 2nd Edition. Web browser IE 6

To try to resolve the above problem I have been endeavouring, without
success, to download (from Microsoft Download Centre) Windows Script 5.6 for
Windows 98.
When I click on the download button I am asked to select either to open the
download or save it to file but there is no place on that page on which a
selection can be made. I am told to click on the “Start Download� link if the
download has not already started. It hasn’t so I do so but nothing happens.
Any suggestions as to how I might achieve a successful download of Windows
Script 5.6 (ser56en.exe), or otherwise resolve the page error, would be
appreciated.
Thank You.

What happens when you try clicking this direct link to the download?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=90&p=&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=0a8a18f6-249c-4a72-bfcf-fc6af26dc390&genscs=0&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2f4%2fc%2f9%2f4c9e63f1-617f-4c6d-8faf-c2868f670c1c%2fscr56en.exe

If that gives you trouble, try putting http://www.microsoft.com in the Trusted Zone
of IE:
In IE, click Tools menu> Internet Options> Security> Trusted Zone icon> Add Sites
button.

When you saw:
This download is available running genuine Microsoft Windows. Click Continue
in the section above to begin the short validation process. Once validated,
you will be returned to this page with specific instructions for obtaining
the download.
Did you validate or check the button to skip the validation and just go to
download?
It appears you have to check one or the other first.
I already have it but downloaded again to check the validation procedure.

If you can't download it for whatever reason, Scr56en.cab (note the
'c'), digitally signed 2002-04-23, is part of the full Internet Explorer
6 Service Pack 1 (IE6SP1) software bundle that you may have on a CD you
got with a computer-magazine, or you might be able to borrow it from a
friend or borrow it at a library. You should be able to use that
cabinett-file to install Windows Script 5.6.

Thanks Glen
I have tried what you suggested.
When I click on the direct link you provided I get a blank window with empty
address bar. When I tried to add http://www.microsoft.com to the trusted
zone I got a message "Sites added to this zone must use the https:// prefix."
So I added microsoft.com with the changed prefix. I also closed down zone
alarm but the download link still refuses to work.

Try this instead jj.mac
I see you are posting from cdo, but if you can still see Glen's link as a
clickable link, or this link below, which is the Exact same thing just converted:
http://tinyurl.com/6dndx
...then just right click on it, and choose to "save target as"
What happens then?

Can I ask a related question here? What was the reason for installing
Windows Script 5.6 in the first place, and how many (and which ones) DLLs
does it update? (I was wondering if it was supposed to be a relatively
safe upgrade).

Rick you’re a genius. Right clicking on your link worked a treat. I have
reinstalled the script engine and my problem with McAfee VirusScan has been
solved.
Many Thanks for your help.

I have a lot of computer magazine disks which I searched through but I could
not find IE Service Pack1. I have however obtained a link from Rick Chauvin
which enabled me to download Windows Script 5.6. My problem has been solved.
Thank you for your contribution.

A link provided by Rick Chauvin got over the problem without making further
changes to the Security settings. Anyhow thanks for your help.

I needed Windows Script 5.6 to register McAfee VirusScan program on my
computer and receive “updates�. How many and which DLLS does it update?
I have absolutely no idea. You would need to ask a geek that question.

Mae I actually did complete the validation process but was unable to download
the script engine. I also tried "Skipping the validation process" and still
could not download.

There you go. Actually, you should have also been able to get it by right-clicking
that long link I gave you....the answer apparently is that you needed to right-click
*whatever* link you used. Glad that worked for you (good catch, Rick!)....but you
should not *have to* do that to download with IE, so there is something amiss
somewhere.

One very good reason to install 5.6 Scripting package is to fix current
problems like the OP had where a scripting error was occuring.

CSCRIPT EXE
DISPEX DLL
JSCRIPT DLL
SCROBJ DLL
SCRRUN DLL

It would update all the above files I would assume. That would depend
on what have on board of course, but the neat thing about this download
is that these files would also be refreshed if running the download
again - thus you have a convenient script fixer on hand. Note that it
does both Visual Basic Scripting and JavaScript which for some reason
now is referred to by the catch phrase of Jscript. JavaScript is NOT
the same thing as Java, just FYI.

It is very safe and includes update 814078 such that the update is no
longer shown to be needed if the current 5.6 Scripting Host package is
installed.

Why MS neglects to have this package at Windows Update site can only be
hung on the hook of being non-critical in nature to start with. I
suspect that most casual users are then not even aware of it's
existance. I've been running and recommending it for a long time now
with my ie 5.50 SP2 even though it began it's existance with ie 6.

There is a documentation package available at this url.

OK, thanks for the info, Lee.

I assume there is no uninstall (just in the remote case it created ANY
idiosynchrasies). I didn't see it mentioned it that article.
