If when you open Outlook 20016 or any other program on your Windows 10/8/7 PC you receive a message – Failed to register a VB Script dll. Reinstall or run Regsvr32.exe Vbscript.dll to self-register; then this post may help you. To resolve this issue, you will have to re-register the vbscript.dll file.

Failed to register a VB Script DLL

From the WinX Menu, open Command Prompt as Administrator, type the following and hit Enter:

regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll

This will re-register the concerned DLL file using the Windows OS tool regsvr32.exe. The Regsvr32 tool is a command-line utility that can be used for registering, and un-registering OLE controls as DLL and ActiveX (OCX) controls in the Windows operating system.

You will see the following message if it runs successfully – DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.

If it does not work and the DLL file failed to register, then log on by using an administrator account, and then register the DLL file.
