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.

    Try re-registering the scrrun.dll:

    Start > type cmd.exe in the "Search programs and files" box, then, under "Programs," right-click cmd.exe > Run as administrator

    Then, at the command prompt, type the following pressing "Enter" after each line:

    cd "%systemroot%\SysWow64"

    regsvr32 scrrun.dll

    Then close cmd.exe and restart the computer.

    The process shows that it succeeded but the same script error is shown when opening msicuu2.exe as the administrator.  I had even tried to open the installer in the Safe Mode but had the same results.  The Windows Installer is shown as Start and Manual in Services.msc, it was Auto but I changed it with the results being the same.

    Can you check the following registry key?:

    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

     

     

    Yes to both items.  Also, in InprocServer32 there is:  ThreadingModel (Name); REG_SZ (Type) and Both (Data).
