Error 2753 Problem: Receive "Internal Error 2753" Information:
The Microsoft Windows error "Internal Error 2753" is related to a Windows
Installer failure. If this error is popping up as a prompt on your Windows
operating system, you will not be able to install applications on your
system. Thankfully, there is an easy fix for this problem that you can
perform using your computer's DOS prompt.
Error 2753 Solution: Step1.
Windows Vista & 7 users - Click on the Windows Orb icon (lower left of
your main desktop screen), in the Start Search box, type in "CMD."
You will see a list of choices, select CMD under Programs and hit Enter.
You can also
navigate to it by clicking on the Start Orb, go to "All Programs,"
"Accessories" and choose "Command Prompt," and the DOS window will appear. Windows XP Users
- Click the Start button, click on "Run," then
type "CMD" in the run box and hit the Enter key This will bring up a
black DOS command window. Step 2. Type "regsvr32
vbscript.dll" without the quotation marks, make sure you put the space in
between 32 and vbscript, press <Enter> Step 3. You should
now see the message "DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded," if this
message appears, the required files for the installer have been
successfully registered, and you should be able to install your apps. Step 4. Click on the
installer file for your application and see if the error appears again. If
the installation begins, the files are now properly registered. Repeat the
process one more time if the installation still gives the Error 2753
message.
Error 2753
Solution 2: Follow guidance on
Microsoft's website,
they have an automated file you can use.
Error
2753 Solution 3: Make sure the file you are trying to
install is not already installed (or have a folder in Program Files).
Example: you are receiving this error when trying to install
ActivClient. After you have uninstalled and restarted your
computer, go to: C:\Program Files\ and C:\Program Files (x86) and
delete the folder titled: ActivIdentity. Once deleted,
try the install again.
