When trying to enable the scripting server, I get the following error:
An error occurred while creating the script server: -3
Now, I know that this error has been batted around this forum before, and a fix has been proposed for people who don't have PH installed in the default directory (which I don't since that seems to be necessary for it to work with win7-64). Anyway, I've tried the editing the phsrc.reg script, and I've updated the path to where PH is actually located (C:\powerhome). Yes, I did keep the double \\ in there. I then did the merge and restarted PH (actually rebooted, just to be sure). Still get the error. I also did a regedit to check the registry value, and it is what I expected. I then cut-n-pasted the value of the key in a cmd window 'dir' command to make doubly sure the phscr.pbd file pointed to by the key actually exists; it does. I'm all out of ideas. Anybody know what else I can try? Thanks for your help.

Need this bumped. Having the same problem on Win7 64. Can't start the script server, and as a consequence, can't seem to run VB scripts.

I got this running on Win 7, but I'm not entirely sure how. I did a search on Microsoft's site for WSH (Windows Script Host) and ran whatever program I could find, regardless of operating system compatibility. After a reboot, I was able to get the script server running. Another thing that is very important is the reg file: phscr.reg
The second to last entry should match where you have installed powerhome. Modify it as needed. You must maintain the formatting they have in that file, (ie the "//" in the directory structure)
If you have any specific questions, post them here.

I'm pretty sure that I have the 2nd to last entry in the phscr.reg file right; it points to c:\\powerhome\\phscr.pbd which is where I installed PH.
If you have any more hints on what programs you ran off of Microsoft's site, that would be very useful. Thanks.

Did you merge the data with the registry after (and if) you made any changes?

Yes. A more or less full description of what I tried can be found in the original post. I think I followed all the instructions from prior posts correctly....

Run this: (it might fail)

and this:

I recommend running them one at a time, rebooting, and see what happens before you run the other. It would be nice to isolate what needs done so that it can be posted to the site permanently.

Finally got back to trying this. I tried both of these downloads, one at a time with a reboot in between. The first one installed without a problem, but I still had the same PH error after it. I tried the second download, but the install failed saying I don't have enough disk space (I do, so something is wrong with the install or something else).
I'll still play around with this in the background and will post an update if I get anything to work (assuming I can follow my trail of things I've tried). For now, I've just opened up the socket communication and talk to PH directly from vb.net if I need to script something.
