Internet Explorer Script Error, An error has occurred in the script on this page. Line:46, Char:4, Error...etc. message appears after first McAfee installation window and unable to get past or install CD. Previous version of McAfee was preinstalled by Dell and I have tried to completely remove. Please help. Thank you very much, Pete pete wikstrom

Under Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Security there are two options about allowing active content to run. this might solve the problem. if this doesnt then you could look for a setup.exe or install.exe file on the CD and run it direct. personally wouldn't touch McAfee with a barge pole, never heard anything good about it im afriad :(

Interesting. Are you positive you're attempting to install version 9.0? I think the most recent version available from nai is 8.0. Regardless, you should be able to find information/support on nai's website. Did you uninstall the previous version while logged in as Administrator in Safe Mode? Did you then reboot and log back in with that same account before attempting the installation of the new software?

Jennifer, As an FYI, McAfee ViruScan 2005 is commonly known as McAfee VirusScan 9. pete, When you said I have tried to completely remove did you remove every references to the preinstalled version in Windows registry. You may need to do this in order for the new version to install itself. As an FYI, I'm a former McAfee user and like simonscholey I won't touch it again. The tech support people at McAfee completely turned me off! i_XpUser

I agree with the others about McCaffee, but you might try this download fix for windows scripting. Let us know if it works. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vbscripttoc.asp

Thanks for help. I tried the MSFT download, but get the following error message when i open file: Error registering the OCX C:\WINDOWS\System32\vbscript.dll Can you help? Thanks again pete wikstrom

I found this on another forum. It appears to be a JAVA or macromedia problem. According to other newsgroups that I see around the Internet, this issue happens when you have multiple SUN JVM versions installed. Here's the method I used to determine if I had multiple SUN versions installed on XP. You can probably translate these instructions to your own OS. Start->Control Panel->Java->Java->Applet Runtime Settings-View and Start->Control Panel->Java->Java->JNLP Runtime Settings-View If you see more than one JVM enabled there, you should disable or uninstall the version(s) that you don't want to use. That appeared to fix the problem for the people in the newsgroups complaining about it. Evidently multiple installations interfere w/ each other as there were some defects in the Sun JVM installation programs that left remnants of older versions still installed and enabled. The intent was to let Java developers switch around between different versions, but I guess there were some bugs in Sun's installer code. Here are links to some of the newsgroups complaining about this. http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/...orum/92671.html http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/...rum/104023.html http://www.dbforums.com/showthread....843#post3671843 http://www.experts-exchange.com/Pro...Q_20869875.html http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.js...7&thread=518815 http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/t-13669 http://www2.uwindsor.ca/~maraha1/hs_err_pid3612.log http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/...rum/103426.html http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rem...01850~mode=flat http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/...rum/103514.html http://forums.speedguide.net/showth...102#post1301102 If this turns out to fix your problem, please keep track of what JVM versions that you had installed and post it here. I'm trying to file a defect w/ Sun and the more information that I can give them, the higher the probability is that they can replicate and fix it. Thanks! Or please file your own defect w/ Sun at: <http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/index.html> This other newsgroup says that the problem is with a clash between the SUN JVM and MS Outlook 2003: “IE only crashes when Microsoft Outlook 2003 is running. I have also found that the problem goes away when I switch my display properties from 32 bit to 16bit.” http://supportforum.sun.com/sjds/in...5&rid=0#msg_705 However, this is the only guy that I've seen stating this. I myself have tried switching my XP computer to 32 bit display and have not experienced the problem. I'm also ordering a eval version of Outlook 2003 to see if that shows anything, but I'm not hopeful. Again, if you can reproduce this defect, please file all of your information into a defect w/ Sun. As a last resort, you can always install the old Microsoft JVM and the problem will definitely go away. http://www.virtualmachine.tk/
