Everytime I try to make an HTML report of my family tree I get this error:
| Error in Config.xml at line 21: Unable to initialize the script engine VBScript |

| I realize many visitors are landing on this page searching for "VBScript Not Found". You don't need to read the whole conversation or learn about the HTML generator to fix your VBScript Engine problem. Follow the instructions below for the solution: You get the error message "Can't find script engine VBScript" because the dynamic link library (DLL) VBScript.DLL is not properly installed on your compter. Is is unlikely this file (VBScript.DLL) is missing, so all you have to do is type "regsvr32 VBScript" in a Command Prompt or in the Run Dialog (Start -> Run) like the screenshot below. 
If successful, you will get the following message: 
And you are done.
Original Conversation regarding the VBScript Engine to generate HTML reports with GenoPro
Can you tell me what version of Windows are you using? I am curious if others get the same error as you do.

Windows XP Prof. SP 2
(I was thinking that it might be some sort of security thing added to windows to stop the executing of VBScripts, but that doesn't really make sense.)

I am running the same (XP Pro SP2). Can you try replacing the word "VBScript" by "JScript"? You may not be able to run the report, but the script engine should initialize.
Were you getting this error before, or you managed to generate one report using a previous Beta?

I was never able to use the report generator I just got the newest Beta a few days ago.
I just tried it (even though I tried it before)
When I subsitute JScript from VBScript I get
| Error in Config.xml at line 21: Unable to initialize the script engine JScript |
When I subsitute JavaScript from VBScript I get
| Error in Config.xml at line 21: Unable to initialize the script engine JavaScript |
The config.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If a script engine is not found, the report generator defaults to "VBScript". I will add "JavaScript" to map to "JScript". I think users are more familiar with JavaScript than JScript.

| So what am I supposed to do? I should wait (9 mths) for the next beta to come out, or is there something I can do now? Was I supposed to change any of the coding from the original files in the English skin folder in order to make this thing work, or does it come ready to work?

Waiting will not help. The next beta, including the final version 2.0 will have the same problem. I will create a private build for you over the weekend so we can diagnose the problem.

The error 0x80040154 is indeed REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG, meaning the class "VBScript", or CLSID {B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}, is not available on your computer.
Can you search the registry (Regedit.exe) for the string {B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8} ? You should see the following with the node "InprocServer32" having the value of "C:\WINDOWS\System32\VBSCRIPT.DLL" (or your Windows directory if different).
Are you the administrator on your computer? I am asking because the error 80040154 may be returned because of a "permission denied".
Also, have you installed special COM or COM+ components?

Also, have you installed special COM or COM+ components I'm not sure what that it, so probably not?
When you double-click on an XML file, do you get the "warning about Active Content"? Not anymore; but when I used Internet Explorer, I used to until I enabled it from Internet Options.
Can you search the registry (Regedit.exe) for the string {B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8} ? I do seem to be missing this key in my registry. Perhaps that is the question. I just ran a test right now, I created a simple .vbs file to see it it would work. I wrote
msgbox "hi"
and then saved it as a .vbs and tried to run it, at first I got a allow/block dialog from Microsoft AntiSpyware and then when I clicked allow, I got the following error message:
Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script..
Now what do I do?

This is good news. It appear the file VBScript.DLL has never been registered (or unegistered by some third paty application). Some "Virus Cleanup" software may unregister this DLL because viruses love to run VBScripts. It is good news because I prefer solving this problem instead of hunting down a permission denied / security issue.
Can you try locating this file in your c:\Windows\System32\ directory (or anywhere on your computer)? Every installation of Windows should have this file, unless it has been deleted.

Great. This even better. Using a Command Prompt or the Run Command (Start -> Run), type the following:| regsvr32 c:\Windows\System32\VBScript.dll |
Or replace "c:\Windows\System32\VBScript.dll" by the path where you found the file VBScript.dll.

Great.
Reading file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Rudy Klein\Desktop\Klein Family Genealogical Webpage\family.ged'...
Converting ANSEL to ANSI / MBCS
Importing 'Gedcom' document using Code Page 1252 known as 'Western European/US (Windows)'
Validating data...
I would recommend to import the the .ged file into a .gno file first, so you will be able to add a title and a description to your report. If you generate a report on a GenoPro document, the report generator will display an extra window to add a title to your family tree.

Hopefully you will be last one experiencing this problem with GenoPro. After thinking about the issue, I wrote some code to locate the "VBScript.dll" and automatically register the library if present. I did the same for the JavaScript/JScript DLL.
