When trying to install Windows Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe) this error message appears.  I'm trying to install Java but get the Java Setup error 1723: There is a problem with this windows installer package.  A DLL required for this install to conplete could not be run....

I have Windows Home Premium and it looks like I have the Windows Installer-Unicode Version 5.0.7600.16385 

Any steps to fix would be most appreciated.

    Glad it worked for you - you should run the Avast cleanup tool to remove teh rest of the stuff that the standard uninstaller left behind.

    Download the Avast removal utility from here http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

    Follow the instructions for running it, and when complete, reboot the machine.

    Hi

    Thanks to all contributions.

    I had just downgraded from Avast (paid) to Avast (Free) and my VB scripts no longer worked.

    Working through this thread solved the problem - a dirty key left over from the original Avast application at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32.

    Updating the (Default) key to "C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll" solved the issue.

    Many Thanks

    Chas
