I just got my ComicBase 12 CD in the mail for my birthday and I was having trouble installing it on my Vista laptop.

Everything would go fine until I hit next to start the install right before (I would find out) is the accept the license agreement screen. The install would just error out and close. I looked in the Application Log and found this:

Log Name:      Application
Source:        MsiInstaller
Date:          1/11/2008 6:28:41 PM
Event ID:      1033
Task Category: None
Level:         Information
Keywords:      Classic
User:          HANFORDMAN\Chris
Computer:      HanfordMan
Description:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: ComicBase 12. Product Version: 12.0.3. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1603.

After doing some research, I found that this is a common thing with Vista and has happened with other products.

With out getting to techinical, you can fix things by running this command at a command line:

regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll

After you do that, everything works fine.
