problem with HP 3180 software

When I was trying to install the Image zone express portion of the software
I recieved the message Internal Error 2738, "Fatal Error". One of the
possible solutions was to install VBSCRIPT.DLL but while it said it loaded it
failed to install and I recieved the error code OX80004005. Does anyone know
what the problem is?

Did you run the .dll registration from an "elevated" command prompt.

In the Search box above the Start Orb, type cmd, when cmd.exe appears at the top
of the search results window, right click and select "Run as Administrator",
then type regserv32 vbscript.dll

Thanks. I finally figured it out and it took several tries before the
regsvr32 vbscript.dll command worked, but finally I have the software
installed!
