Error 2738 - during installation of Adventure Works sample databases on Vista

Well, I downloaded Adventure Works sample databases from the here
but I encountered with error 2738 during installation.

I found the solution by a post in Mitch Denny blog:
http://notgartner.wordpress.com/2008/07/12/the-error-code-is-2738/

In brief the solution was to register VBSCRIPT.DLL on Vista which is not registered by default.
- Run "Command Prompt" as administrator
- Switch to "C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64"
- Execute "REGSVR32.EXE VBSCRIPT.DLL"
