Thanks for that information PA Bear. But I thought I had made it clear that I
had already done that. Anyway the answer was provided in another Forum in a
thread to which you also contributed. See my last post to this thread.

Running the Fix It didn't resolve your problem or you wouldn't run the Fix
It at all?

Did you access http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187 via IE (32-bit)?

Hi PA Bear.

I accessed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187 via IE7 Version
7.0.5730.13. The Fix it did not run at all. So it couldnt Fix my Problem.
The Fix it 50123 WAS the problem because it is packaged with the updates from
the Windows Update site and NOT packaged with the updates from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx It gave the same error as
I originally asked about when trying to install from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11720
Date: 12/06/2010
Time: 11:23:31
User: xxxxxxxxx
Computer: xxxxxxxxxx
Description:
Product: Microsoft Fix it 50123 -- Error 1720. There is a problem with this
Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete
could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Custom
action RUN_32_PARSEARG script error -2146827859, Microsoft VBScript runtime
error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
Line 22, Column 14,

I get fails on KB979909 KB979906 KB982168. The came as 3 in a group of 9.
All the others installed okay.
Plus, the attemps caused a huge defragmentation that my defrag won't take
care of all of.
