Re: [WiX-users] What keeps borking my ICE validation by registering VBScript and JScript under HKCU?
I found the exact same problem and (after a lot of investigating) found that on
my machine, it was PSPad causing the problems. Every time I launched PSPad
(ran the app, not install it), it was attempting to reregister vbscript.dll.
Since it runs unelevated, vbscript gets registered in my user account, which
breaks vbscript. There was some setting I found in the application settings to
make it stop attempting to register vbscript and that fixed the problem on my
machine. I mention it just in case you're using PSPad too.
It became such a problem for me that seriously ended up sitting with procmon
open while I worked. I had it filtered to the vbscript registry values in HKCU
and just waited until I did something that created the keys. If you don't use
PSPad, you might try the same thing to find out what's doing it on your machine.

Bummer. So these installers just decide to re-register the DLLs "to be sure
that they're registered", and as a result probably break their own
functionality.

Re: [WiX-users] What keeps borking my ICE validation by registering VBScript and JScript under HKCU?
Bummer. So these installers just decide to re-register the DLLs "to be sure
that they're registered", and as a result probably break their own
functionality.
Thanks for the response, Rob.
