i have solved the problem, i contacted hp and and they helped me activate vbscript. it was basically what new learner described.
I have Windows Vista on my computer. I downloaded the iTunes 7.1, but when I went to install it, it said that VBScript is not installed, and I need to install that in order to install iTunes. Can anyone point me to just "how" I would go about installing VBScript on my system. I think It could be some $#$% security setting that Vista locks down the VBScript, so if that is the case how I go about enabling it for the iTunes install. or any other procedure to install iTunes
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you
