Some versions of the McAfee security software commandeer a registry entry normally used by MS-Windows for a VBscript DLL registration.  The effect of this is to disable the operation of the VBscript, which in turn causes several Captools/net configuration scripts to fail to run, cause some setup configurations, such as folder permissions to fail.

 

Simply uninstalling McAfee does not resolve this conflict.  To resolve this, a special McAfee "Cleanup" tool needs to downloaded and run per the following link and instructions:

First try to register the VBscript DLL:

 
a. Click on start button, type cmd. In the search result right-click on cmd and select Run as administrator.
b. Type cd %windir%\system 32 (Note: there is a space between system and 32) and press enter.
c. Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll in command prompt and press enter.
d. Type regsvr32 jscript.dll in command prompt and press enter.

 

If the registration was successful, you should now see the following message:

 
 DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.

 
e. Now right-click on windows cleanup utility setup file and select Run as administrator.

 

If The registration fails, it may be because the following registry key was used by McAfee

 

- "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}

 

At that key in the right window is there a Value (Default) of type REG_SZ with a "Data" of VB Script Language

 

Also check the following registry key:

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32

 

At that key in the right window is there a Value (Default) of type REG_SZ with a "Data" of "C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll"

Per the above link, download and run the removal tool from: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe"

 

Upon completion of running the McAfee removal tool, you should see the VBscript.dll registered at the above registry location and your Captools/net scripts should now run.
