DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded. - Now run PSoC Designer and see if the problem is resolved.
Method 2
If the steps given above are not working and you have used McAfee® products in your machine earlier, then run the McAfee Consumer Product Removal (MCPR) tool by following steps given here (If you have not used McAfee products, then try method 3):
- Download the MCPR tool and save it to a folder on your computer.
- Navigate to the folder where you saved the file, and double-click MCPR.exe.
- When you see the User Account Control dialog box, click Yes.
- At the McAfee Software Removal screen, click Next.
- At the End User License Agreement (EULA) dialog box, click Next to accept the agreement.
- When prompted, type the Captcha information, which is case-sensitive, to validate to application security, and then click Next.
