Can't register jscript and vbscript dll

Hi everybody,

I can't open anymore WMP 11. When clicking on it, nothing happens. It appears less than 1 sec on the Task Manager, process tab, and disappears suddenly. I get the same with others streaming media like TVUplayer and Sopcast.

I set up Windows Media Player to the Set Default Programs List but nothing changes.

In CMD and I Right Click and Run as administrator then I type in:

regsvr32 wmp.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll

I get the following error trying to register jscript.dll and vbscript.dll (this dll important to run WMP): "dllregisterserver failed with error code 0x80004005 " 0x80004005 is related to an access denied.

I run these two Microsoft Fixit :

http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9657451
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9648765

and I get always the same error: "dllregisterserver failed with error code 0x80004005 "

I made a research and I noticed that the previous error mean an access denied to my Registry.

I download also K-Lite codecs and I get an error during the installation :

"HKEY CLASSES ROOT/icyx RegCreateKeyEx failed code 5 Access Denied"

All in all, it seems that HCR in my Registry is locked when I tried to install programs. I need to give an authorization to unlock this part of the Registry.

By chance, I can access to HCR in the registry but when trying to install a program like K-Lite codecs or another media player, it seems that it is locked.

How can I unlock easily this part in order to register successfully jscript and vbscript dll ? In this case, I suppose WMP will come again to load.


PS:I can't restore as my restore fonction on Vista is disabled.

Thanks in advance !

 

when registering those dll, did you run cmd as admin?
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/...th-administrator-privileges-in-windows-vista/

 

Subinacl is not a good choice as I already did it, and I had more troubles than you can imagine.

After installing, Vista restarted and I noticed that I had no more sound, Network tab with low memory (message appearing) when launching and UAC didn't work anymore. Clicking on enable or disable UAC, nothing happens.

Hopefully, I fixed what with Subinacl did wrong.

Subinacl is out of date (2004) and not for Vista Busines 32 bits.

 

Yes, sure Cudni with my Admin Account and run cmd as Admin

 

Try using the full path. Instead of:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
try:
C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\vbscript.dll
assuming that is the correct path.

 

Without a detailed rundown I'd attribute this to *user* error. Regardless what MS says, I trust Bill Castner's wisdom.

 

According to what was happening in my computer, see my previous post.

Anyway I found something interesting, a reg file to fix jscript on my computer.

I tried to merge this file run as admin, and I got an error message:

"Can't import ... access error to the registry"

 

Sure you haven't been hit by something? Perhaps the "take ownership" method then? XdN Tweaker appears to simplify the process.

 

I get an error trying to take ownership of Hkey Classes Root:

"Impossible to define the ownership on Hkey Classes Root. Denied Access."

This is who is the ownership

 

Incase <and I suspect> there's corruption, how about a chkdsk prior to the procedure? Make sure to reboot.

 

I was wondering if gpedit has something to do with this issue.

On Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System, ther Scripts, t's set to Not Configured

What do you think about ?

 

Ok, I did it. I had no errors.

 

(When having problems suchs as yours then please take backup of all important data prior to proceeding !!!)

Let us for a moment assume that you might have either one or more problems.
One of these problems , just to start a place , might being you being unable to take ownership (or perhaps that even be the root of the problem) , anyway , I found this long and elaborate scheme (listed beloow) that you might try out, or perhaps if you get able to take ownership it will help you get further by then being to apply other fixes, source of information : "Help! Access Denied Even To The System Owner___ - Vista Help"


These steps might help some else with a similar UAC/ACL complete root

FiatLux,

I did all the steps 1 to 8.

I can't not enter in my Admin Account for now and If I enter into my User Account, instead of getting the dekstop, I have a black screen.

I enter into my Admin Account and it's automatically close this account in a few seconds.

I'm on a Safe Mode.

It was a bad idea.

How can I roll back now ?

I tried to merge my backup registry but I have an error message.

What can I do for now

The step 1 wasn't a good idea !

Need to come back to my Admin Account and my User Account, thanks in advance.

 

Sorry for your problems (Also I ought to have told you to backup the whole PC rather than just backup important data, modifying the registry is always risky) .

Please try the following Using Vista's Recovery Enviorment (WinRE) :



Get in to WINRE

Open command prompt

Enter the following commands to create a Manual System Restore to fix the issue.


C:

cd windows\system32\config

C:\windows\system32\config>ren default default.old

C:\windows\system32\config>ren sam sam.old

C:\windows\system32\config>ren security security.old

C:\windows\system32\config>ren software software.old

C:\windows\system32\config>ren system system.old



C:\windows\system32\config>cd regback



C:\windows\system32\config\regback>copy default c:\windows\system32\config

C:\windows\system32\config\regback>copy sam c:\windows\system32\config

C:\windows\system32\config\regback>copy security c:\windows\system32\config

C:\windows\system32\config\regback>copy software c:\windows\system32\config

C:\windows\system32\config\regback>copy system c:\windows\system32\config

 

Fiat Lux,

I hope you can confirm that I will keep back to a safe vista.

Is there any command (in dos) to merge my backup reg file ? this will be a safe solution I think

Look at this screenshot:

 

Sorry , I of course can not give any guarantees , that is why you were were told to backup all important data prior to proceeding. Also as it ought to have been obvious I did not come up with the long receipe (written in green above) myself, I can do nothing but my best.

If you want to do a manual registry fix using your backup registry then perhaps something such as Barts PE disc might help ? , don't know, will have to get back to you on that one.....

Or you might be able to use the "RegResWiz" tool on the "UBCD for Windows" to restore the registry to previous saved states ? (UBCD4Win : please use caution with Vista systems , you might have to build this disc yourself for Vista, if so then please follow site guide line!))

You also could still try the "WINRE" described above....

 

Hi,

I need to come back to the right permissions on my registry.

I remember that when doing step by step, according to your recommendations, I removed my admin named account, Fleur de Vie and I add owner creation + check all boxes.

If you or someone who has Vista Business 32bits, let me know which permissions I had to give for HKLM, HKU, HCR, ...

Thanks in advance !

I hope this will recover my both accounts.


PS: The latest recommendation don't work for me. I can rename because there's another process (on Safe Mode and on Command Prompt Safe Mode)

 

You need to boot on the Vista DVD (there was a link!)

With respect to re-creating user accounts, if any left, it ought to be able to be done through :

Command prompt as administrator (Windows Vista).
Click on net users in Command prompt window and hit enter.
This should show a list of user accounts - if any.
If any user accounts listed that is not presented on the Log on screen then write :

net localgroup users accountname /add

and hit enter.


But I still think that you should try the the "WINRE" described above...


P.S.
Recommendations ? , no! , suggestion yes, I wrote "that you might try out" and also "please take backup of all important data prior to proceeding" .

 

These are the settings I have for now

Registry:

HCR:
System total control and lecture (checked)
Admin idem

HCU:

System total control and lecture (checked)
Admin idem
Users lecture (checked)

HLM:

Everybody +Restricted : lecture checked
System +Admin: total control and lecture (checked)

HU: idem that HLM

HCF: idem than HCR


I enter on my user account (with my black screen) then I click on Alt ctrl delete and choose Task Manager. I had only 4 process with the Task Manager included which are:

csrss.exe
dwm.exe
taskmgr.exe
winlogon.exe


Please check my registry permissions .

I read that the command prompt 'reg add' can overwrite my registry with my backup reg file. I'm not feel good to do this, but maybe it's a solution or maybe someone know exactely how to do it.

 

At your "black screen" user account try running "explorer.exe" and see if this gives you any possibilities....
(Taskmanager, menu "files" got a "new job" "run" ) .

P.S.
There also might be a .bak copy of the Registry files and a .sav file copy in C:\Windows\System32\config which might be from the original install of Vista?

 

The troubles comes when on the step 8, I add a new account. I reboot and I enter this new account, I get a blue screen on the dekstop, nothing else. I create this new account named 'Essai' on my admin account.

CMd : Net users

'Essai' appears but when downloading my computer it doesn't appear.
How can I delete this account with cmd ?

 

net localgroup users UserName /delete

or

net localgroup administrators UserName /delete

?


But I don't know why you want to delete rather than to try to recreate :

With respect to re-creating user accounts, if any left, it ought to be able to be done through :

Command prompt as administrator (Windows Vista).
Click on net users in Command prompt window and hit enter.
This should show a list of user accounts - if any.
If any user accounts listed that is not presented on the Log on screen then write :

net localgroup users accountname /add

and hit enter.


But I still think that you should try the the "WINRE" described above...

 

I won't delete Essai user account.

Please, check with me the permissions on my Registry.

WinRe, I don't want to reinstall Vista and lost all my settings and data. I have a recovery DVD for Vista Business from Fujitsu Siemens and I don't feel at easy to do this.

I prefer to check and to recover my registry because the troubles came with the changes we made before.

 

P.S.

Here is an explanation about "Setting up user accounts in Windows Vista".
The "THE COMMAND NET USER" user part is halfway down the page.

Also ther is a "YouTube video - add a new user using cmd (command prompt)" (though hard to see what is going on) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWGDkNYzuoE

B.t.w. , you can also start command prompt from taskmanager from menu "files" , "new job" "run" , cmd.exe
