In the Prerequisite Checker screen, you may get the following 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 calls the vbstest.vbs (a Visual Basic [VB])
script to verify the installation environment and fails for some reason.
The possible causes are:
Issue 1:
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 2:
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 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 3:
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 4:
Description: The Scrrun.dll file may not be registered.
Resolution: Register it manually by running the following command: regsvr32 Scrrun.dll

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