NOTE:  If you have Windows 7, you may not need ActivClient, which could resolve this error for you.

 

Error 2738 Solution / Resolution:  The VBScript engine can be quickly registered by following these steps: 

a. Run Command Prompt as administrator
         a.1 Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories 
         a.2 Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator
b. 32 bit Windows:  At the Command Prompt, Type: cd\, then cd windows\system32 and hit Enter

     64 bit Windows:  At the Command Prompt,  Type: cd\, then cd windows\syswow64 and hit Enter
c. At the Command Prompt, Type: regsvr32 vbscript.dll and hit Enter

 

Error 2738 Solution / Resolution (additional steps):  Users may also need to remove the vbscript registry key:

32 bit: Windows users navigate to:  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{ B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}  and then re-register vbscript.dll.  

64 bit: Windows users navigate to:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{ B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}   

Visit this link for more info.  A user couldn't complete the installation without performing these additional steps.

NOTE: If you have problems deleting the registry key.  Right click the Registry file [you are trying to delete mentioned above], Select Permissions, Advanced (button), Select Owner (tab), Under Change owner to: select Administrators, Apply, then OK. 

Now that you are back on the Security tab, select Administrators, click the Allow box next to Full Control, hit Apply, then OK.

You should now be able to Right click and delete the Registry key.

Restart your computer, then try the install / uninstall again

 

Error 2738 Solution 2:  Your McAfee, Symantec / Norton, or Kaspersky Antivirus can also be causing this issue for you.  Try temporarily disabling the antivirus program during the ActivClient install  / update.  McAfee users may have to uninstall it, you can try running the McAfee removal and cleanup utility

 

Error 2738 Solution 3:  Your current profile could be corrupt.  Create a new profile and install the programs from that profile.  Here's how to build a new profile.

 

Error 2738 Solution 4:   If the above ideas don't work, there is a problem with your Windows installation, and the only option left is to back up your files and reload your Windows Operating System. 

 

 

Error 2753 Problem:  Receive "Internal Error 2753"

Information:  The Microsoft Windows error "Internal Error 2753" is related to a Windows Installer failure.  If this error is popping up as a prompt on your Windows operating system, you will not be able to install applications on your system. Thankfully, there is an easy fix for this problem that you can perform using your computer's DOS prompt.

Error 2753 Solution:

Step1.  Windows Vista & 7 users - Click on the Windows Orb icon (lower left of your main desktop screen), in the Start Search box, type in "CMD."  You will see a list of choices, select CMD under Programs and hit Enter.  You can also navigate to it by clicking on the Start Orb, go to "All Programs," "Accessories" and choose "Command Prompt," and the DOS window will appear.

 

Windows XP Users - Click the Start button, click on "Run," then type "CMD" in the run box and hit the Enter key

This will bring up a black DOS command window. 

Step 2.  Type "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" without the quotation marks, make sure you put the space in between 32 and vbscript, press <Enter>

Step 3.  You should now see the message "DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded," if this message appears, the required files for the installer have been successfully registered, and you should be able to install your apps.

Step 4.  Click on the installer file for your application and see if the error appears again.  If the installation begins, the files are now properly registered.  Repeat the process one more time if the installation still gives the Error 2753 message.

Error 2753 Solution 2:  Follow guidance on Microsoft's website, they have an automated file you can use.

Error 2753 Solution 3:  Make sure the file you are trying to install is not already installed (or have a folder in Program Files).  Example: you are receiving this error when trying to install ActivClient.  After you have uninstalled and restarted your computer, go to:  C:\Program Files\ and C:\Program Files (x86) and delete the folder titled: ActivIdentity.  Once deleted, try the install again.

 

 

Error 2755 Problem:  Receive "Error 2755: Server returned unexpected error 110 attempting to install package ActivClient CAC x86 6.2.msi"

Error 2755 Solution:  This is related to using Encrypted File System (EFS). Try copying the installer program [ActivClient CAC x86 6.2.msi] to a USB drive (unencrypted FAT32 file system) and try the install again.
