Cannot open script

from JoeUser Forums
I am using DesktopX for a while but only as a user without problem. Wanted to have a look at building objects and followed the desktopX tutorials. Everytime I'm building a new object and hit "new scritp" I have a DesktopX error asking if I want to send the problem to M$. Also when trying to open a script of an existing object I get this error.
Any hint ?
Using DesktopX 3.10.042, XP SP2, admin account.

You might need to reinstall Windows Script. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&displaylang=en

deinstalled, removed DesktopX folder and reinstalled (with SD central) but still changed nothing
Everytime I'm clicking the "new script" I get a DesktopBuilder error (see below)

Ok, I wrote an email to support.
Meanwhile, looking at the FAQ, I found this:
Firstly, create the object that you wish to be scripted then add the DXScript plugin from the General/Additional Modules section. Click Configure. Once in the DXScript editor, select your scripting language (usually available are VBScript and Jscript
Ok, I did not add this plugin, I was following a DesktopX tutorial and did not see or understood that I had do add a plugin.
But now, in my plugin list, I have NO DXScript..... Can I download it somewhere ?

Me again,
After de- and reinstalling a second time, still error when trying to open an object script.
But finally I solved the situation:
go to Startmenu --> Run and type: regsvr32 jscript.dll
and hit ok then do the same with regsvr32 vbscript.dll
thats all

eh...? I think that FAQ must have been old or something. Didn't make any sence.

Anyways, good that you got your problem fixed. Thanks for posting back for others to see the solution.

The same solution worked for me as well. Although I should add that I did add the Windows Script 5.6 for XP before I tried this; so perhaps it was a combination of the two. Not sure.
