I've tried to install the virtual serial port on Vista (32bit). It just fails. I ran an msiexec trace on the install. It is a very short trace:-

Is there a way to fix this or is there a workaround?
This error is usually appears because the jscript.dll is not registered in Windows. To register it, perform the following steps: 1. Click Start > Run or hold down the Windows Key and press R. 2. Type regsvr32 jscript.dll. 3. Click OK when the message appears about the registration succeeding. If you receive an error instead, ensure you are logged into Windows as an Administrator.
