Everytime I try to make an HTML report of my family tree I get this error:

Error in Config.xml at line 21: Unable to initialize the script engine VBScript

I realize many visitors are landing on this page searching for "VBScript Not Found".  You don't need to read the whole conversation or learn about the HTML generator to fix your VBScript Engine problem.  Follow the instructions below for the solution:

You get the error message "Can't find script engine VBScript" because the dynamic link library (DLL) VBScript.DLL is not properly installed on your compter.  Is is unlikely this file (VBScript.DLL) is missing, so all you have to do is type "regsvr32 VBScript" in a Command Prompt or in the Run Dialog (Start -> Run) like the screenshot below.

If successful, you will get the following message:

And you are done.


Original Conversation regarding the VBScript Engine to generate HTML reports with GenoPro
Can you tell me what version of Windows are you using? I am curious if others get the same error as you do.

Windows XP Prof. SP 2

(I was thinking that it might be some sort of security thing added to windows to stop the executing of VBScripts, but that doesn't really make sense.)

I am running the same (XP Pro SP2). Can you try replacing the word "VBScript" by "JScript"? You may not be able to run the report, but the script engine should initialize.

Were you getting this error before, or you managed to generate one report using a previous Beta?

I was never able to use the report generator I just got the newest Beta a few days ago.

I just tried it (even though I tried it before)

When I subsitute JScript from VBScript I get
Error in Config.xml at line 21: Unable to initialize the script engine JScript


When I subsitute JavaScript from VBScript I get
Error in Config.xml at line 21: Unable to initialize the script engine JavaScript


The config.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If a script engine is not found, the report generator defaults to "VBScript". I will add "JavaScript" to map to "JScript". I think users are more familiar with JavaScript than JScript.

So what am I supposed to do? I should wait (9 mths) for the next beta to come out, or is there something I can do now? Was I supposed to change any of the coding from the original files in the English skin folder in order to make this thing work, or does it come ready to work?

Waiting will not help. The next beta, including the final version 2.0 will have the same problem. I will create a private build for you over the weekend so we can diagnose the problem.
