Error 2738 during installation. (DLL registration solutions did not work)

[Anonymous]

Hello there.

I am having issues installing Autocad 2012 on a couple of machines. All of them are running Windows 7 Home Basic 64 bits.

I have read some suggested solutions here and on "up and ready" website with no success (posts http://upandready.typepad.com/up_and_ready/2011/07/error-2738-installation-could-not-access-vbscript... and http://upandready.typepad.com/up_and_ready/2012/10/error-2738-could-not-access-vbscript-run-time-for... I have contacted @AutodeskCare on Twitter and ^CAM suggested me to come to this forum for further help.

These machines have McAfee Antivirus Plus (I read that some uninstallations of McAfee may produce the error, but I have it installed right now with no plans of removal for that).

The weird thing here is that on similar computers (same hardware and software installed) I have had no issues at all (this issue is happening on 3 out of 7 computers).

Thanks in advance for any help.
