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.

    If you have issues reregistering the vbscript.dll like I did, use the below link to follow Qella3's suggestion. This has worked for me on many occasions.

    Thanks!

    Do NOT follow those instructions - they will leave the system wide open to attack!

    ..and apart from anything else, subinacl is not compliant with x64 Windows, so may only do half the job anyhow.

    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:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\ScriptSn.20121125102220.dll

    I'v uninstalled mcafee,couldn't find the mcafee file in the above specified path.

    couldn't find script engine VBScript 

    couldn't install skype toolbars

    Hi Mohamed SherinHasina,

    Can you go to the following registry key:

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

    Can you right-click on that registry key and select "Export" and save as a .reg file.

    Then right-click the resulting .reg file and select "Edit".

    Can you then copy and paste the contents of the .reg file to a post in this thread?

    Aha!  My HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32 (Default) had a leftover dll from recently-uninstalled   Avast virus scanner.

    As admin, changed HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32 permissions to allow updating, then replaced the (Default) value with 

    C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll

    thank you very much, I was looking for this information since a long time, it works very well now !
