User Notes for Supported Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

In the Prerequisite checker screen, you may get the following may message: An error occurred while attempting to execute a

Visual Basic Script. Please confirm that Visual Basic files are installed correctly. This error occurs when the Prerequisite checker

uses the vbstest.vbs (a Visual Basic [VB]) script to verify the installation environment and fails for some reason.

The possible causes are:

Issue Description: Incorrect Internet Explorer Security settings.

Resolution: Ensure that Active Scripting is enabled. Click Tools → Internet Options → Security → Custom Level → Scripting →

Active Scripting → Enable.

Ensure that Scripting of Java Applets is enabled. Click Tools → Internet Options → Security → Custom Level → Scripting →

Scripting of Java Applets → Enable

Issue Description: Windows Scripting Host (WSH) has disabled the running of VB scripts.

Resolution: By default, WSH is installed during the operating system installation. WSH can be configured to prevent the execution

of .VBS scripts. On the desktop, right-click

My Computer, then go to Open → Tools → Folder Options → File Types. Look for the

extension VBS and verify that the File Types is set to VBScript Script File. If not, click Change and select Microsoft Windows

Based Script Host as the application to run the script.

Issue Description: WSH is the wrong version, is corrupted, or is not installed.

Resolution: By default, WSH is installed during the operating system installation. To download the current WSH version, go to:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950396.aspx

Issue Description: The Scrrun.dll file may not be registered.

Resolution: Register it manually by running the following command: regsvr32 Scrrun.dll

• After an Unattended Installation has completed a new console window must be opened to run CLI commands. It is not possible

to run CLI commands from the same console window on which Server Administrator is installed.

• If Server Administrator is being installed or uninstalled on a system where the Web download version of Server Diagnostics

(version 2.x) or Server Update Utility is running, the Windows Installer service may display a message stating that specific files

required by Server Administrator are in use by diagnostics or by the Server Update Utility. Click Ignore and continue. (62159)

• On the Microsoft Windows 2008 SP2 SBS operating system, the listener creation link on the Prerequisite checker screen does

not work. See the Server Administrator Installation Guide for creating the HTTPS listener using the winrm command line utility.
