XP Pro SP3: Custom action configIIS4 script error -2146828235, Microsoft VBScript runtime error: File not found Line 182, Column 9 I also cannot do the RunAS trick, as i am on SP3. Does anyone actually use php on iis4 (nt? 98?) nowadays?

I have same problem on Windows 2003 server r2 enterprise sp2 x64 with all updates and IIS6, when I try to install php-5.2.6-win32-installer.msi installer give me same error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-08 10:13:12] pomax at nihongoresources dot com installer feature suggestion: add a check to see if VBscript is a registered and running service, and break off the install if it is not detected. This should fix everyone's problems on Vista, Windows Server 2008, as well as XP installs where people decided to turn off any service they do not use themselves. - MK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-04 22:28:59] nospam at gmail dot com You'd never believe it, but just going to c:\windows\system32 and running regsvr32 vbscript.dll fixed the MSI problem. Wow, go figure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-04 22:09:52] nospam at gmail dot com I've having the same problem here and after running msiexec with logging options on, it seems that it fails because it "Could not access VBScript runtime for custom action". Very frustrating bug, especially since you can't, by default, run MSI packages with administrator rights. This is most likely a bug with the actual MSI package or packaging application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-04 19:39:18] markinoxford555 at yahoo dot co dot uk Polite request... Is there any chance the batch file workaround could be added to the documentation? It is not obvious - it's no good just being logged on as administrator - you really do have to use the batch file, right click, and run as administrator. You can say it's not a bug all you like, but the fact is that Windows Vista users simply can't install PHP without literally hours of frustration and searching here for solutions. Either decide that PHP isn't available under Windows Vista :-( or add this trick to the documentation or, even better, change the installer so that it works without any trickery. Please don't just say it's not a bug - as far as the user is concerned, it simply doesn't work, not give any indication of why it doesn't work, and that, in my mind, is a bug. Sorry! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
