Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script.

Question

When trying to install Windows Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe) this error message appears.  I'm trying to install Java but get the Java Setup error 1723: There is a problem with this windows installer package.  A DLL required for this install to conplete could not be run....

I have Windows Home Premium and it looks like I have the Windows Installer-Unicode Version 5.0.7600.16385 

Any steps to fix would be most appreciated.

Can you run the system file checker to check for system file corruption - follow Option 1 in the folliwng link:

I had run this before on July 9 (message 3) but ran it again and now can't open the CBS.log file-access denied in Wordpad.  I did find the original sfcdetails.txt from July 9, showing the info but not anything from July 13, don't know why as I'm running as the administrator.

I finally found the file checker info, hadn't used Notepad for awhile but found and saved the CBS.log file, over 9MB.  I don't understand all that it's telling me and could include a snapshot of today's running of the SFC as a .jpg but don't know if it's possible to do so or is allowed.  Anyway, the windows installer still fails.

After discovering that I could not do a manual restore point and newly installed programs were not added to the restore section, I decided to bite the bullet and do a clean install.  Since then, all my gremlins are gone and all the re-installed programs and Windows updates have been working correctly, including restore points.  No more VBScript errors or Java errors.

Thanks to all who offered their time and suggestions.
