MSScriptControl and Vista

2008-12-13

In some of my applications, I make use of the MSScriptControl to execute dynamically generated scripts, or just to enable scripting in my applications. Windows Vista users will get an error if they install applications that use MSScriptControl, because it is not included in Vista by default, and since it’s a file that is controlled by the operating system, you should not include it in your MSI package. If the MSScriptControl is missing, you can get it from Microsoft Download Center. This is the direct link:

If you don’t want to memorize this URL, you type the following keywords in Google:

download microsoft script control

You need to validate your copy of Windows to be able to download it.
