Re: BUG #6194: Cannot install any of the installers

I looked at that Google Groups posting and didnt think it was authentic to this software. But the root of the problem which is inline with whats mentioned in that Google post - I use notepad++ as my .vbs editor. I disassociated that in notepad++ settings and registry's .vbs HKCR was cleaned up automatically and the installation proceeds without any problem.

Thanks. It could be useful to capture all this in your wiki somewhere.

Thank you,

The log file clearly states this:
Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs"
This error can occur if no default scripting engine is set, the VBScript module is not correctly registered, or the .vbs file class settings are broken.

You may need to reinstall the WSH or update the registry to associate the .vbs file to be used with wscript/cscript.

echo %TEMP% - Location of the Temp directory on my system
cd %TEMP% - DOS opens the Temp directory
echo test > test.log - creates this test.log file inside the Temp directory.

Also, the log files were not at the location you mentioned, but were at the AppData\Local directory level. So I am including the latest log file for your reference. Hope that helps.

Thank you,

There is a folder called .bitrock and inside that folder there is only .tmp_5996_6742595 directory that only contains a collection of some .png files. There are no log messages from what I have.
