Error 1720 Product: Windows XP Embedded Tools SP1 -- Error 1720.There is a problem with this Windows

[Pieter]

Hello Group,

I have a bizare problem with installing the embedded tools.
During the installation process The folling message appears:
" Product: Windows XP Embedded Tools SP1 -- Error 1720.There is a problem
with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to
complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
"

In the setup wizard the action seems to be : 'Writing installtime to
registery'

From then eventviewer I got the folling information : "Custom action
WriteInstallTimeToRegistry script error -2147024769, : Line 1549, Column
5,"

I extracted the custom actionactionscript en looked at line 1549.


' Create a Windows Script Host 'Shell' object
' for registry key manipulation functionality
Set oShellObject = CreateObject( g_szShellProgID )

This seems to be the problem but I don't know what it is.

In the MSI install log I don't get any information about this problem

Sorry I closed the previous message to soon:

This is in the MSI log.

Before the installer is preforming a rollback I noticed in de registry that
the install datetime is not written to the hklm\software\microsoft\windows
embedded. On a other computer the installation is working fine.

Does someone has a tip what to do?

TIA

PEBKAC.

I found the solution. Not only installing the Script Host 5.6. But also
reboot when you told to do so.

Thanks

Pieter
