Error 2738 Windows 7 Fix
error LGHT0217 : An unexpected external UI message was received: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???? 2738 ??? I wanted to see the full error code 2738 windows 7 text of this error message, so I temporarily changed the product language setting in my WXS file from 1041 (the LCID for Japanese) to 1033 (the LCID for English) and re-ran the http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/windows-vista-error-2738-not-axcess-vbscript/d8249289-50e4-4e1d-bf9b-5d8a46653083 build. When I did that, the error message was more readable: light.exe : error LGHT0217 : An unexpected external UI message was received: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738. This message made more sense to me, so from there, I looked at the Windows Installer Error Messages reference https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2008/04/01/how-i-resolved-windows-installer-error-code-2738-on-vista-while-running-light-exe-from-wix-v3-0/ for error code 2738 and found the following: Could not access VBScript run time for custom action [2]. While attempting to narrow down this error further, I found a couple of useful blog posts. As described in this blog post by Heath Stewart, error code 2738 can occur on Windows Vista systems (like the one I was using in the above scenario) if an MSI contains a script-based custom action and the VBScript runtime is registered in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive instead of or in addition to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. Also, as described in this blog post by Bob Arnson, four of the Windows Installer Internal Consistency Evaluators (ICEs) are implemented in VBScript. The offending ICEs are ICE08, ICE09, ICE32 and ICE61. In my build output, I noticed that light.exe had reported some warnings for ICE03 before displaying this 2738 error. From this, I made an educated guess that it was probably failing while running one of these four ICEs. Then, I used some of the advice that I listed in one of my previous blog poststo unregister vbscript.dll and jscript.dll from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to resolve this error: Click on the Start menu, cho

Vista for some reason dosnt register VBScript. What you have to do is first of all find where vbscript.dll is, mine was in C:\Windows\System32, but I think it changes dependant on your version. Next you need to go to start -> accessories and the right click on command prompt and click "run as administrator", 2738 windows 7 next type "cd C:\Windows\System32" (replace the dir if its differnt for you) and then type "regsvr32 vbscript.dll". It should then confirm that vbscript has been registered and everything should work. This will fix a few installs, i found the same problem with itunes as well. Hope this helps,Cheers,JamesWorked for me!Sweaty Back to top #2 walkermore walkermore Newbie Members 1 posts Posted 27 March 2010 - 12:19 AM sounds good to me Back to top #3 Brendon Brendon Digiital Guru Digital Guru -8,380,569 posts Gender:Male Location:Christchurch, N.Z.
