Vista, iTunes 7.3 and VBScript...

So you just got that new iPhone thing, sped home, downloaded iTunes 7.3 and installed on your new Vista machine (after all, if you're a techie like me, you need to run the latest and greatest on the best hardware). But you run into a problem. VBScript isn't installed by default by Vista.




Oh NO!!! how do I get around this and start using my wonderful new iPhone?????
Apple has already seen it with iTunes 7.2 on Windows XP. For Vista, there are a few more steps you need to do first.



Re-enabling the VBScript engine in Windows XP

If the VBScript is installed, it might not be registered within Windows XP. To re-enable the VBScript engine, follow these steps:

- click the Start Orb
- select All Programs
- select Accessories
- Right CLICK (very important) on Command Prompt
- Select Run As Administrator
- Follow the steps below...

On the Start menu, click Run.
In the "Open" field, enter the following command and click OK.
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
A message should appear stating that the "DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll succeeded."
Click OK and try installing iTunes or QuickTime again.
Note that the user needs to be logged in as the administrator or is a user with admin privileges for the step above.

You should see something like this when done.



When you load iTunes, you'll need to unblock the firewall.



Once this is done, go to Edit/Preference and setup you're iPhone stuff.



That should do it. Enjoy your new phone.
