The older installers are probably giving the second error as they didn't
have the same check as the first to ensure that the environment was sane
before trying to install the runtimes. What it's saying is that it cannot
write a file and execute it from your temporary directory. What does %TEMP%
point to, and does that directory exist?

Re: BUG #6194: Cannot install any of the installers

yes, there is that folder and it was using relative settings like %LOCALUSER% or something similar and I changed it lateron to absolute paths like C:\Users\... when installations kept failing. Also, I restarted my machine everytime environment variable were changed or modified.

Re: BUG #6194: Cannot install any of the installers

There is a folder called .bitrock and inside that folder there is only .tmp_5996_6742595 directory that only contains a collection of some .png files. There are no log messages from what I have.

echo %TEMP% - Location of the Temp directory on my system
cd %TEMP% - DOS opens the Temp directory
echo test > test.log - creates this test.log file inside the Temp directory.

Also, the log files were not at the location you mentioned, but were at the AppData\Local directory level. So I am including the latest log file for your reference. Hope that helps.

Re: BUG #6194: Cannot install any of the installers

The log file clearly states this:

*Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs"*

This error can occur if no default scripting engine is set, the VBScript
module is not correctly registered, or the .vbs file class settings are
broken.
You may need to reinstall the WSH or update the registry to associate the
.vbs file to be used with wscript/cscript.

Please follow the below links for the explanation & resolution:

Re: BUG #6194: Cannot install any of the installers

I looked at that Google Groups posting and didnt think it was authentic to this software. But the root of the problem which is inline with whats mentioned in that Google post - I use notepad++ as my .vbs editor. I disassociated that in notepad++ settings and registry's .vbs HKCR was cleaned up automatically and the installation proceeds without any problem.

Thanks. It could be useful to capture all this in your wiki somewhere.

I looked at that Google Groups posting and didnt think it was authentic to
this software. But the root of the problem which is inline with whats
mentioned in that Google post - I use notepad++ as my .vbs editor. I
disassociated that in notepad++ settings and registry's .vbs HKCR was
cleaned up automatically and the installation proceeds without any problem.

Thanks.

I am happy that it helped.

It could be useful to capture all this in your wiki somewhere.

It is already been documented.

The log file clearly states this:

*Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs"*

This error can occur if no default scripting engine is set, the VBScript
module is not correctly registered, or the .vbs file class settings are
broken.
You may need to reinstall the WSH or update the registry to associate the
.vbs file to be used with wscript/cscript.

Please follow the below links for the explanation & resolution:

*echo %TEMP% - *Location of the Temp directory on my system
*cd %TEMP% - *DOS opens the Temp directory
*echo test > test.log - *creates this test.log file inside the Temp
directory.

Also, the log files were not at the location you mentioned, but were at the
AppData\Local directory level. So I am including the latest log file for
your reference. Hope that helps.

There is a folder called .bitrock and inside that folder there is only

Hi Pradeep,

- Can you please share the log file(s) found under the temp directory
(named with bitrock-*.log)?
- What is the output of the following command?
