Trying to install the "Enterprise Library" I got this fatal error "application ended prematurely because of an error". Following this post I registered the VBScript and I got another error, but I tried to install Enterprise Library again and SUCCESS! I don't know my version of Windows Vista, I just know that it is the Ultimate.... Cheers obs: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll Somethings I don’t try to understand why, just how to fix it!

But this is only partly a SnagIt problem - of course it would be advisable for software vendors to make sure that their installers don't require that VBScript dll, which isn't available on Vista by default. Far too few vendors have taken this step so far. But of course, once somebody has taken the necessary steps to register the dll manually, things should really work - I'm still not sure why the dll gets unregistered again and again on my system.

I've installed SnagIt on 3 or 4 Vista machines without an issue. What version are you installed? The latest? I'm running 8.2.3 (build 14) without incident. I even used Snagit when I did a demo on how to install the Snipping Tool on a vista box :) http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/vista/install-or-enable-the-windows-vista-snipping-tool/ :) That’s really odd…..
