Actually, that almost certainly is the same problem - it's just that
the 9.2 installer has been modified to try to identify the issue much
earlier and more reliably.

It's essentially running the attached script under cscript. If you
save it to disk (and rename to prerun_checks.vbs) and then try running
it, you should see something like this:

C:\>cscript //nologo z:\dpage\prerun_checks.vbs
The scripting host appears to be functional.

Please try running it in a regular command prompt, and one opened
using the "Run As Administrator" option.

If you see something different from the message above it may help to
remove the "On Error Resume Next" lines from the script and run it
again. That should give additional error detail that the installer
wouldn't be able to interpret easily.

Thanks.
